The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that lift-truck operators be trained under specified guidelines. Students must be at least 18 years of age or older.

This one-day class includes classroom training—discussions, lectures, and videos on the safe operation of the industrial-powered, sit-down rider lift truck—and practical training, including hands-on operation, demonstrations, and pre-shift inspections. Students will operate the lift truck in a simulated and controlled work environment. Students will be issued a training certificate and wallet card after the course. 

$350 (includes a $300 lab fee).
