How do employees get certified?
Forklift certification is a three step simple process.
Forklift training: 2 types of training
1) Formal forklift training
2) Practical forklift training
Evaluation
After the training, the employer must evaluate the employee's driving ability on the employers forklift. The employer must document this evaluation. Just because an employee was evaluated driving a forklift, does not automatically mean that
they are certified.
Certification
The employer must then certify that the employee may drive forklifts for that employer. This is the easiest stage of the process. However; this is by far the most important issue for the employer. If the employer certifies the employee, the employer is in essence certifying that the employer has provided the training outlined by OSHA and that the employee is competent to operate a power industrial truck.
