Ven preparado para reflexionar, aprender y descubrir nuevas posibilidades para la persona y el líder en quien te estás convirtiendo.
Tu próximo nivel comienza con la manera en que te lideras a ti mismo.

Forklift Operator Training
with Dr. Iry Rice
This course provides formal classroom instruction with evaluation and practical hands-on training with evaluation in accordance with OSHA standards. Completing both portions of the training results in the issuance of a forklift operator training certification card valid for 3 years. OSHA requires the employer to ensure that every powered industrial truck (forklift) operator is competent in the operation of a truck prior to operating as proven by the successful completion of the required training. This course focuses on the required elements of a forklift operator training program outlined in the OSHA forklift standard, 29 CFR 1910.178. The classroom instruction element provides general information on all types of forklifts and is followed by a written examination. The practical hands-on training provides specific instruction on the forklift operated by the trainee and is followed by an evaluation of performance. Training certification is issued for successful completion of both elements of the training process. To be legally employed as a forklift operator in any state in the U.S, a person must be at least 18 years of age and obtain certification.
