OSHA compliant forklift certification program

OSHA Operator Training

Yale offers Operator Training to help customers comply with several topics found in OSHA formal instruction requirements. It’s important to note this is one element of a multi-part OSHA training process:

Full OSHA forklift certification requires Formal Instruction, Practical Training, and Operator Evaluation. Satisfy portions of the first step with formal instruction. Informal instruction includes activities such as specific truck-related topics, specific workplace-related topics and more.  Your Yale dealer can help you close the gap and deliver fully compliant Operator Training programs specific to your trucks.

Yale Handle With Care®, available in both English- and Spanish-language versions, is a comprehensive, DVD-based program that covers all five lift truck product classes and includes tools needed to provide customized training to your operators. This program also includes two posters to display at your facility: Forklift Safety Tips and Pedestrian Safety Tips.
