Forklift and Aerial Lift Train the Trainer
OSHA Forklift Operator Training
OSHA Aerial Lift Operator Training
OSHA 10 and 30 Hour

Employers have the responsibility to make sure that all persons that operate the forklift are certified and trained on the safe operation of that equipment. This includes employees, temporary workers, and owners that operate the forklift. While the cost of training is relatively inexpensive, fines for non-compliance can be steep and typically range in the several thousands of dollars.

Forklift University can train your operators or an on site trainer in less than a day and provide them with a certification card that bears your logo and has a professional appearance (see our examples below). Our experience and dedication to quality in this industry has allowed us to provide training for large and small companies as well as government agencies like the Nevada Department of Reclamation, Hoover Dam and the FBI in Las Vegas.

Our training programs can be tailored specifically for your facility and each student will receive a company specific manual and test. They will also be evaluated on their ability to operate the forklift at your company. In addition to forklift certification we also can do familiarization training on Aerial Lift trucks and Fall Protection if your company has this type of equipment.

We also realize that training cannot be done exclusively in English, and have certified trainers on staff to provide materials, videos and instruction in Spanish. Our instructors are fluent in Spanish and can provide the most complete and comprehensive training to your employees of any one in the business.
