Course Details
This self-paced online course covers the safe operation of powered industrial trucks — including forklifts and other lift trucks — in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178. Like the formal-instruction portion of PIT operator programs across the industry, it aligns with OSHA's training requirements, covering typical hazards, stability principles, anatomy, maintenance, inspections, and safe operations. You will learn to recognize truck classifications and their operating characteristics, conduct pre-operation inspections, and identify equipment deficiencies before use. The course explains load-capacity principles, stability concepts, and safe load handling, along with the pedestrian and load hazards common to warehouse and industrial settings. It also addresses safe operating procedures such as steering, braking, traveling, and parking, plus fueling, charging, and routine maintenance awareness. Delivered entirely online, the course lets you work at your own pace and earns 2.0 contact hours toward 0.20 IACET CEU.
Because this is the online, knowledge-based portion of powered industrial truck training, it satisfies the formal-instruction requirement only — OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 also requires your employer to conduct a hands-on evaluation on the specific truck and in your actual workplace before you are authorized to operate. On completion you receive a certificate of completion and 0.20 IACET CEU, which document your formal instruction but are not an operator license and do not replace that employer evaluation. The course is intended for operators, supervisors, warehouse personnel, and safety professionals who operate or oversee powered industrial trucks. Enroll now to complete the formal-instruction portion of your forklift operator safety training at your own pace.
