Forklift Certification

OSHA has established that all Forklift operators in the construction industry must be trained and certified. Local 49's Training Program offers an OSHA compliant program consisting of classroom training, a knowledge test, and a "hands-on" evaluation for all Forklift operators. Consult the class schedule to find the classroom portion of forklift training.

Upon completion of the classroom we will ask you to schedule a minimum four hour block of time for hands-on practice. No hands-on testing is scheduled on the same day as classroom training.

If you wish, you may call the Training Center at a later date to schedule your hands-on practice. During your skills upgrading you may, at your discretion, not use all four hours if you feel you can successfully complete the forklift course. This will also apply to operators who wish to recertify.
