Forklift Training

Overview

Forklift incidents are among the leading causes of injury in workplaces that use powered industrial trucks, making proper operator training a critical part of any safety program. New Wave Safety provides hands-on forklift training designed to meet OSHA's requirements for powered industrial truck operation under 29 CFR 1910.178. Training combines classroom instruction with a practical evaluation completed on your own equipment, helping operators build the real-world skills needed to work safely and confidently on the job. We offer two versions of forklift training: certification for day-to-day operators, and a train-the-trainer program for companies that want to manage certification internally.

This training comes in the following class types:

• Forklift Operator Training

• Forklift Train-the-Trainer
