The rules this course is built on
We teach to the published text. Read it yourself โ every link below goes to the issuing agency or legislature, not to a summary.
Issuing authority: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
- 29 CFR 1910.178(l) โ Powered industrial trucks: operator training
1910.178(l)(2)(iii) requires training and evaluation to be conducted by persons with the knowledge, training and experience to do so. OSHA issues no trainer certification or licence.
Read the official text โ OSHA โ - 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(4)(iii) โ Three-year operator evaluation
An evaluation of each operator's performance is required at least once every three years. The interval applies to operators, not to trainers.
Read the official text โ OSHA โ - 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(6) โ Certification records
The employer certifies each operator, recording the operator name, training date, evaluation date and who performed them. That record is the employer's, not the training provider's.
