What OSHA requires of Wichita forklift operators
An employer may only allow operators who have completed a proper training program to run a forklift. A complete certification has three parts:
The employer must keep a written record showing the operator’s name, the trainer’s name, and the dates of the training and the evaluation.
How often re-certification is required
Operators must be re-evaluated at least once every three years. Refresher training is required sooner if an operator is seen driving unsafely, is involved in an accident or near-miss, is assigned to a different type of forklift, or if conditions in the workplace change.
Where our online course fits in Wichita
Our $58 online course delivers the OSHA-compliant formal-instruction portion required — the knowledge training and written test — completed in about an hour from any phone or computer. Because OSHA also requires a hands-on evaluation on the specific truck in your actual workplace, the employer completes that final step on site. Employers certifying a full crew can use our Train-and-Certify kit, which supplies the evaluation checklist and documentation to finish and record that step for every operator.
Known as the “Air Capital of the World” for its aircraft manufacturing, Wichita keeps certified forklift operators in steady demand — across aerospace production, agricultural-equipment and food processing, and warehousing along the I-135 and Kellogg corridors.
