Forklift operator training with attachment-specific focus delivered at your site, using your equipment. Our ‘site-specific’ training consists of a combination of formal instructions (e.g., lecture, discussion, and written material); a written test; practical training (demonstrations performed by the trainer and exercises performed by the trainee); and evaluation of the operator’s performance in the workplace.
The 4-hour class includes a visual presentation and discussion on Powered Industrial Trucks and workplace-related topics covered by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178, a review of the Operator Manual, a Pre-Shift Inspection, and Operator evaluation. During the practical, the trainees complete a Pre-Shift as a group to ensure operators know how to complete the required task. A series of operational functionality tasks are outlined for each operator as they are evaluated. Attachment-specific practices are included.
Upon completion, the operator is issued an AWPI identification card - valid for three years. The training meets or exceeds the standards outlined by OSHA standards 29CFR.1910.178.
