Operator Evaluation

Do forklift certifications expire under OSHA?

29 CFR 1910.178(l) sets no expiration date for the employer’s certification. The employer certifies that each operator was trained and evaluated, has each operator's performance evaluated at least once every three years, and provides refresher training sooner when the operator is seen driving unsafely, has an accident or near miss, gets an evaluation showing unsafe operation, is assigned a different type of truck, or the workplace changes in a way that could affect safe operation.
