Why implement a forklift certification program?

Forklift Certification Program OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.178 requires employers to establish and implement a forklift training and certification program. Failure to provide adequate training and certification as required by OSHA regulations can result in fines up to $7,000/employee. Not only is that a hefty fine, but having safe, trained forklift operators can reduce the risk of injurires to employees and pedestrians as well as reduce the risk of property damage.
