Forklift Training & Certification Classes
in Jacksonville Florida
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 -
Forklift Training
 Forklift safety training and certification is mandatory for Jacksonville area
businesses. We come to your facility in and around Jacksonville and train your forklift operators on
your equipment. Mitigate your risk by
having your employees take a comprehensive forklift certification class.
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) mandated that all new forklift operators must be trained
& certified, regardless of experience.
All forklift operators in
Jacksonville; regardless of experience, must be evaluated for competency at least every three years. The
new rules require that forklift training be specific to the equipment you operate (machine specific) and
specific to the conditions under which the equipment is operated (site specific). This course meets
29CFR 1910.178.
Pulse

experienced and new forklift operators. Our training program covers 30 topics and is good for forklift operators in
the manufacturing sector or yard environments.
Our forklift training
program teaches students everything from forklift engineering principles & operator safety rules to forklift
maintenance and the importance of forklift inspections.
This program exceeds OSHA
regulations; each student must pass a written test and performance evaluation as required by OSHA.
Participants receive a student workbook, a wallet card and certificate valid for 3-years (unless void by

Reasons for The OSHA
standard
Each year, tens of thousands of injuries related to powered industrial trucks (PIT), or forklifts, occur in US
workplaces. Many employees are injured when forklifts are inadvertently driven off loading docks, forklifts
fall between docks and an unsecured trailer, pedestrians are struck by a forklift, or when people fall while
on elevated pallets and tines.
Most forklift incidents also
involve property damage, including damage to overhead sprinklers, racking, pipes, walls, and machinery.
Unfortunately, most employee injuries and property damage can be attributed to lack of safe forklift operating
procedures, lack of forklift safety-rule enforcement, and insufficient or inadequate forklift
training.
