Forklift trainers and evaluators are individuals who possess the knowledge, training, and experience necessary to train and evaluate operators effectively.
Examples include managers, supervisors, or experienced operators who are familiar with the workplace, equipment, and specific hazards, and have the ability to mentor, train, and evaluate.
Completing a trainer certification course can help enhance their qualifications, especially those related to facilitating training and performing practical evaluations.
While forklift trainer certifications do not typically display an expiration date, it’s recommended that trainers recertify every three years.
This aligns with industry best practices and ensures trainers remain competent and stay up-to-date on forklift fundamentals and adult learning techniques.
OSHA does not explicitly require forklift trainers to be certified.
However, the most proactive companies ensure their trainers complete trainer and evaluator certification programs to help ensure they meet OSHA’s trainer requirements. OSHA states:
“All operator training and evaluation shall be conducted by persons who have the knowledge, training, and experience to train powered industrial truck operators and evaluate their competence.”
