Your solution to employee forklift certifications & operator licenses

The Problems

We have been working with companies for over 20 years certifying their employees. During that time we have noticed several issues:

Companies accept new hire's certifications as being valid for their company. They are not. You are required to train and certify your employees on your equipment.

Companies frequently allow employee certifications to expire because they lack a renewal reminder system.

Companies don't offer refresher training when there has been a safety issue.

Companies try but fail to implement a "Train the Trainer" program.

Companies don't have a new hire training program in place.

Companies lack a daily equipment inspection program.

Companies don't see the need for forklift certifications, don't make the time or feel it costs to much. Every employee that operates a forklift must have a valid forklift certification.

Companies reach out after OSHA has issued a warning or fine.
