Description
Forklift and Order Picker Certification Training
OSHA regulations mandate that anyone operating a Powered Industrial Truck, such as a Forklift or Order Picker, must obtain the proper training and certification. These regulations aim to reduce the many fatalities related to forklift accidents, which result in approximately 200-250 fatalities annually in the USA.
Forklift Academy is a leading provider of Forklift Certification training in the USA and Canada. Their training programs, available at facilities across the country, are among the most effective and affordable.
Why is a certification card important?
Having a certification card is necessary because it is a legal requirement. Many companies prefer hiring forklift operators who are certified. This certification is recognized nationwide by OSHA and employers. The training is designed for new forklift operators and can be completed in under four hours. Upon completion, you’ll receive a picture ID certification card, accepted by OSHA, on the same day.
The training is practical, combining interactive lessons, PowerPoint presentations, models, and discussions to engage students. If you’re an experienced operator, a re-certification course is also available.
Training includes:
- A written test to assess your understanding of the course materials
- A hands-on “On the Equipment” evaluation, where you will:
- Learn to drive Order Picker equipment
- Familiarize yourself with equipment safety, engine operation, and maintenance
- Understand controls and instrumentation, stability, rated capacities, and more
- Practice in a warehouse environment with a rodeo simulation to hone skills
After the training, you’ll receive:
- A custom-printed operator ID card (plastic digital wallet card)
- A certificate of achievement, proving completion of the forklift certification
- A 3-4 hour class designed to meet OSHA requirements
- Your name added to a job opening database for potential opportunities
