Frequently Asked Questions

Does this certificate satisfy OSHA requirements?

This course satisfies the formal instruction component of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(l). OSHA also requires a hands-on practical evaluation by a qualified person at your worksite -- both parts are needed for full certification.

How long is the certificate valid?

3 years from the date of completion, with refresher training required sooner if an operator is involved in an accident, observed operating unsafely, or reassigned to a different truck type or workplace.

What forklift classes are covered?

All seven OSHA/ANSI classes: Class 1 through Class 7, covering electric motor rider trucks, narrow aisle trucks, hand trucks, internal combustion trucks on both cushion and pneumatic tires, tractors, and rough terrain forklifts.

How does certifying my whole crew work?

Employers buy seats in advance from the Employer Portal, with a Lifetime Crew Discount up to 35% off starting at 5 seats, then assign seats to employees and track every operator's certification and renewal status from one dashboard.

Business/team pricing is also available for employers certifying multiple operators at once.
