Hands-On Evaluation
To comply with the law and ensure that the operator has the ability to operate safely, each operator is required to pass a hands-on evaluation in the workplace on each truck type they will be assigned to operate. The method requires the operator to demonstrate proficiency in forklift operation in a manner that mirrors actual use in the workplace. This requires approximately 10 to 40 minutes per operator, per truck, in a “one-on-one” training/evaluation session.
Course Materials
All necessary materials are provided including:
- Student Workbooks
- Certification cards
- Operator evaluation forms
- Pre-shift inspection forms
The provided documentation is to show proof of training and should be kept by the students and company for compliance auditing purposes.
