Getting Your Forklift Certification?
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), most injuries to people or damage to property from forklifts is caused by improper handling of the forklift. This is why OSHA and state governments require companies that employ forklift operators to have a certification, much like a driver’s license, to operate their forklifts safely. Employers who employ uncertified operators run the risks of having to pay fines and of having untrained forklift operators causing accidents. There are two ways to obtain certification. Some employers provide training for their employees, with certification at the end of their training. Forklift operators whose employers do not provide training can get training at schools designed for that purpose. The things OSHA wants forklift operators to know include how to operate the truck, how to perform a daily maintenance check, the physics of forklifts, driving and lifting safely, fueling, preventing fires, and what to do in case of emergencies. Training can include lectures, reading materials, power point slides, a written test, and, last but not least, an actual test operating an actual forklift in front of a shop supervisor, safety officer, company owner, or teacher. Written tests can be multiple choice questions giving the operator the chance to pick the best way to lift and carry heavy loads. There are likely to be questions on where it is safe to operate or park the truck, and how loads are distributed and moved. The daily maintenance check might also come up on the written test. To get a feel for written tests, I took one online. I can recognize a forklift on sight, but never actually touched one. After studying the material, I managed to pass. Think what someone who actually knew how to operate a forklift could do. When the written test and demonstration of practical ability to handle the forklift have been passed, the newly certified forklift operator is given a certificate and a wallet-sized copy to carry. It is a good idea to carry the wallet-sized copy at all times. It can be shown to OSHA representatives making routine safety checks. Of course, it should always be taken to job interviews and when the operator is filling out the paperwork for a new job. With the certificate complete, the operator is ready to start a safe, productive career.
