TMH Open Enrollment Forklift Operator Training & Certification

Open enrollment Forklift Operator Training classes are designed for companies with less than five operators and / or single individuals that need training & certification. Beginners and experienced operators benefit from this class.

TMH Open Enrollment Forklift Operator Training Courses are performed at a TMH facility, using our forklifts. The course content is similar to our on-site Forklift Operator Training course, but covers sit-down counterbalanced forklifts (electric and gas/lp) only. Additional training by the employer will be necessary for the specific type of work environment encountered and equipment used. Our Open Enrollment Forklift Operator Training course includes classroom lecture and video training with a written test, as well as a “hands-on” driving evaluation. Certificates and wallet cards will be issued for those attendees who successfully complete both the written test and hands on driving evaluation for safe forklift operations on the day of the training.
 

TMH is the industry leader having certified thousands of operators in the safe use of all types and makes of forklifts. With over 15 years of training experience, our certified instructors ensure complete compliance with federal and state OSHA requirements. This program, instructors and all materials used comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 Sub-part (1) Industrial Truck Operator Training, effective December 1, 1999, as well as the latest CAL-OSHA requirements for Operator Training and Certification.
