| Forklift Trainer Qualifications
|
|  |
OSHA requires that companies certify their forklift operators every three years. But what about forklift trainer qualifications? What makes these persons “qualified” to certify others?
Similar to other standards, it is the responsibility of the employer to develop the criteria (preferably written) appropriate to that workplace and select trainers who meet those standards.
So what are the attributes of a competent trainer/certifier?
Here is a quick list.
Knowledge: They understand the limitations of the equipment being operated, the environment where the forklifts are being used, the policies that govern forklifts, and OSHA requirements.
Job-site experience: They know when and where near-misses have occurred and the unique challenges faced by operators and pedestrians in the lift truck operation areas including the load characteristics.
Class Management Skills: They can deliver an effective presentation, handle student questions, and provide effective oversight to operators when conducting hands-on training or overseeing skills demonstrations.
How does one obtain these qualifications?
