So, you’re ready to run a forklift. These machines are the backbone of many workplaces, but they demand skill, awareness, and respect. This training isn’t about checking a box—it’s about giving you the practical knowledge and situational awareness needed to operate powered industrial trucks safely and efficiently.

We’ll break down OSHA requirements in plain language, turning regulations into clear, usable guidance. You’ll learn how to perform proper pre-use inspections and understand why catching small issues early can prevent serious incidents later. The course covers both counterbalance and narrow-aisle forklifts, focusing on their differences, capabilities, and safe operating practices.

This training goes beyond basic driving. You’ll learn safe load handling, proper stacking techniques, and how to maneuver in real-world conditions such as tight spaces, uneven surfaces, and busy work areas. Emphasis is placed on stability, visibility, and maintaining control at all times.

We’ll also address critical safety topics, including tip-over risks, pedestrian awareness, and the proper procedures for parking and securing unattended equipment. You’ll learn how to recognize hazards before they turn into incidents and how your actions directly impact the safety of everyone around you.

By the end of this course, you’ll understand that forklift operation is about more than moving materials—it’s about doing the job safely, consistently, and responsibly. This training is designed to help you become a dependable operator your workplace can trust.
