TMH On-Site Forklift Operator Training & Certification

Bring TMH to your facility anytime (including nights & weekends*) to train and certify all your powered industrial truck and powered pallet jack operators. 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 will customize your training class to ensure complete compliance with federal and state OSHA requirements.

TMH Forklift On-site Operator Training courses require a minimum of 5 employees and are conducted at your facility utilizing your equipment. Training your employees “on-site” gives them the opportunity to be trained and certified on familiar equipment and allows TMH to customize a program specific to your company’s needs. Our on-site Forklift Operator Training includes classroom lecture and video training with a written test, as well as a “hands-on” driving evaluation.

On-site Forklift Operator Training costs*
• 5 – 15 participants: $125 per person
• 16 or more participants: $100 per person

*Weekend and evening classes are available at an additional $75.00 flat fee cost.

Certificates and wallet cards will be issued to the employer 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. However, it is the employer’s responsibility to authorize only those employees that have been trained to operate specific forklifts.

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.
