Certified Forklift Instructor (OSHA Complaince)

If you want to ensure regulatory compliance with OSHA's rules on powered industrial trucks (forklifts), then LIFTOR can help. LIFTOR provides below a convenient list of all the government links availble so you can learn enough about compliance to take required action regarding employer obligations under 29 CFR 1910.178. The convenient links to the government's resources are free to LIFTOR subscribing members. As a bonus, LIFTOR also provides links to non-OSHA web sites that can be useful as you meet the OSHA requirements.

LIFTOR offers two ways of getting into compliance with OSHA's forklift training rule at 1910.178(l).

1. D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) with Guided Assistance is offered through the links and monthly OSHA e-tool webinar/meetings to help you get into OSHA compliance. This DIY option allows you to certify all of your operators are trained as required by OSHA. With the DIY method, you and/or your employer self-certifies you as an instructor. OSHA does NOT require that instructors are certified. OSHA only requires that, as a trainer, you have the knowledge, training and experience to train and evaluate operators in your workplace. We guide you through the OSHA e-tool. You do the work. You/your employer documents that you have the OSHA required knowledge, training and experience. You achieve Certified Forklift Instructor (OSHA Compliance) status.

2. LIFTOR onsite OSHA-Basic Compliance Certification Test. If you want a third-party certification as an "OSHA Instructor" LIFTOR will come to your place of business to assess you for the OSHA required knowledge, training and experience as an instructor. LIFTOR will provide Basic OSHA-related standards, coach your preparation for both the LIFTOR written "Body-of Knowlege" and practical tests. Then, prepare the documentation so your employer will be ensured of your new capacity with OSHA at 1910.178(l), et.al. "The fee for this service is $3000, includes all on-line coaching webinar/meetings, and 1 day onsite for all testing. (It does NOT include actual travel costs to your workplace.). You do the work. You pass the onsite test. LIFTOR provides documentation that your employer keeps on file demonstrating your skill. You achieve Certified Forklift Instructor (OSHA Compliance) status.
