Forklift operator training is crucial to keep your workplace safe and comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.

OSHA requires employees to complete a training program before operating a forklift. Previously trained workers may also be required to complete a forklift operator refresh course under circumstances such as:

  • They’ve been using an industrial truck in an unsafe manner.
  • They got into an accident.
  • They must learn how to operate a different type of forklift.

At Barclay, we offer forklift operator safety training provided by experienced, authorized instructors at our South Plainfield, New Jersey facility. We can also train employees at your plant or warehouse.

In addition to our forklift operation program, we offer a Train-the-Trainer course. This program equips your facility’s leaders with knowledge on how to conduct in-house safety training.

All of the courses we provide are comprehensive and designed to meet your specific needs. We strive to ensure your workers are professionally trained and certified to operate industrial trucks or instruct operators of forklifts.

Basic Forklift Operator Safety Program

Our Forklift Operation Safety Training program includes a mix of classroom and hands-on learning. During the classroom session, participants learn about forklift safety rules. The class is designed to meet all of OSHA’s training requirements and standards.

The practical session covers daily equipment inspection and operating controls. Each participant is evaluated on basic operating skills and receives a certificate of completion.

Participants complete the program in a day at our South Plainfield facility, and we offer the program throughout the year. However, we are happy to accommodate your training needs, including coming to your facility. Contact us to arrange a training program that meets your company’s requirements.

In-house classes are organized for English presentations. We can make special arrangements for a Spanish speaking instructor on a separate class date (minimum of 4 students needed). Please let our Sales Coordinator know when scheduling this request.
