What OSHA actually requires — and how you cover it

Federal law sets three requirements for every powered industrial truck operator. Here's each one, and exactly where it gets done.

OSHA requires

Formal instruction

Lecture, written material, or interactive courseware covering truck- and workplace-related topics.

How it's covered: Operators complete the interactive course and written exam in the app — English or Spanish, most in under 30 minutes.

OSHA requires

Practical evaluation

The employer must observe each operator running a truck and certify their hands-on competence.

How it's covered: You run this on the floor. The dashboard gives you the digital checklist and signature capture, so it's documented the moment it happens.

OSHA requires

Re-evaluation every 3 years

Operators must be re-evaluated at least every three years, plus refresher training after incidents or new equipment.

How it's covered: Expiration dates are tracked automatically. Operators and managers get reminders at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days — nobody lapses quietly.

Certification comes from the employer, not from any card or website — OSHA holds you responsible for all three steps. This platform delivers the formal instruction and gives you the tools to run and document the rest.

Built for turnover

Crews change. Your training budget shouldn't.

Warehouse turnover is relentless — and with per-person certification, every departure is money out the door. Your seats here are reusable.

An operator leaves

Remove them from your roster in one click. Their seat frees up instantly, and their training records and certificates stay filed for OSHA audits.

A new hire starts Monday

Invite them to the open seat and they can finish the coursework and be evaluated before their first shift — no new purchase, no waiting on a trainer.

A seasonal worker comes back

Re-invite them and their training history picks up right where it left off. Rehires don't cost you a seat twice.

Compare that to paying per head at a cert mill — or scheduling another $1,500+ onsite trainer visit — every time someone new walks through the door.

Would your records survive an OSHA inspection?

Our audit-readiness checklist walks through every record OSHA expects under 29 CFR 1910.178(l) — formal instruction, practical evaluations, the four required certification fields, three-year re-evaluations — plus the coverage gaps that most often turn into citations. Print it, walk your file cabinet, and see where you stand.
