Certification

is mandatory in Opa-Locka. We come to your Opa-Locka facility and train your forklift operators on your

OSHA mandated that all new forklift operators must be trained & certified, regardless of experience. All
forklift operators in and around Opa-Locka; 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.

regulations; each student must pass a written test and forklift performance evaluation as required by OSHA.

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.
