The 10-hour Forklift Safety Training program will prepare you for an entry-level job as a forklift operator. Successful completers will earn a three-year certification in forklift safety, preventative maintenance, and driving operation skills (both stand-up and sit-down forklift operation) through the National Safety Council. The OSHA 10-hr for General Industry Course Number provides an overview of the basic health and safety hazards present in the work-place, along with how the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) operates.
