Helping individuals and teams master OSHA compliance

“Your team always delivers spot-on, practical, clear, concise information in a way that reaches all members of the cohort…The instructors instill in our students an intense appreciation for the critical importance of workplace safety (which always allows me an enormous sigh of relief!).”

- Meri M.

Tri-Valley Career Center

“Alfred presented himself very well and his methods of teaching were excellent. He ensured our class maintained focus throughout the course and didn’t leave anyone behind. Thanks to his methods of training, I walked out of that training not only certified, but confident in operating a boom lift and scissor lift — something I had not previously done before.”

- Francisco R.

Online forklift certification gets the job done. But it doesn’t get the job done right.

Video lessons that are easy to tune out. Certification tests that can be retaken over-and-over, while leaving you unprepared to uphold OSHA’s most up-to-date compliance standards. Multiple-choice Q+As that leave you second-guessing how to handle real-world safety situations.

Full-service OSHA certification program since 1999

1,000+ California forklift operators trained per year

We take our time – so you can reduce downtime

OSHA estimates that an average of 34,900 forklift injuries occur annually. An injury can easily leave you out of work, while eating into your operation’s bottom line.

Proper OSHA certification training can reduce or eliminate workplace accidents. While personalized instruction on often-forgotten warehouse safety practices — like your pre-shift inspection — can help you avoid the costs of uncaught issues with your equipment.

We walk you through the most up-to-date OSHA compliance recommendations, while inviting discussion throughout your training day. So that experienced forklift operators can stay in high-demand. While new forklift operators gain confidence by putting their skills into real driving practice.
