How do you get forklift certified? Bakersfied Ca?

Answer 1

Check with a forklift dealer, he may know. They have started that since I worked as a operator. Check also with OSHA, it sound like something that they would have had passed to protect the workers. and check with any vocation school too.

Answer 2

Take it to the suply store u got it from and ask.There is a small fee.

Answer 3

Contrary to popular belief, you can certify your own employees to operate a forklift.  OSHA just requires that the person doing the certifying is someone "who has the knowledge, training, and experience to train powered industrial truck operators and evaluate their competence."

-29 CFR 1910.178(l)(2)(iii)

If you have a senior guy on site with forklift experience, he can train the others, provided the training meets the requirements of 1910.178.  (http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp....
