Miami Dade Forklift Training & Certification
Forklift
safety training and certification is mandatory in Miami Dade County. We come to your Miami Dade facility
and train your forklift operators on your equipment. Mitigate your risk by having
your employees take a comprehensive forklift certification class.
OSHA mandated that all new forklift operators must be trained & certified, regardless of experience. All
forklift operators in and around Miami Dade; 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 and
specific to the conditions under which the equipment is operated (site specific). This course meets 29CFR
1910.178.
Pulse

Reasons for The OSHA
standard
Each year, about 100 deaths and sixty thousand injuries related to 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 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 operating procedures, lack of
safety-rule enforcement, and insufficient or inadequate training.
