Accidents can happen unexpectedly in the workplace at any time, for this reason, it’s very important for all forklift operators to have the proper education and training necessary to perform their job safely. Forklift operator training not only helps protect the individual operating the forklift but also the people around them while avoiding any damage to company property.

Our forklift training program is done on site to help your company and its forklift operators in Ohio to comply with OSHA’s regulations.

How to Become a Certified Forklift Operator in OH

Under regulation 1910.178, OSHA requires all forklift operators in Ohio to be trained and evaluated every three years. OSHA mandates that forklift operator training is to consist of a combination of formal training (e.g., classroom, interactive computer training, written material), and practical training, including evaluation (hands-on evaluation by a qualified instructor). Organizations who fail to comply with these regulations will result in heavy fines.

Total Equipment Training offers forklift certification training programs which meet all OSHA and the U.S. Department of Labor’s requirements for forklift certification. Learn more about the curriculum of our classroom and hands-on forklift training certifications program.

Testimonials from clients who used Total Equipment Training in Ohio

Greetings,

For the last six years, we have relied on Total Equipment Training for organization’s heavy equipment operator training needs. Most recently, Total Equipment Training traveled to our Cincinnati, Ohio office location to conduct a forklift operator training program. Following this training program, we’ve received nothing but positive feedback from the training course attendees. While I too could g on with praise about the positive experiences we have had using Total Equipment Training as our training partner, I believe our high success rate for certification as well as our organization’s low incident rate speaks for itself.

I would highly recommend Total Equipment Training to any organization in need of NCCCO or OSHA training.
Thank you again for your continued services!
