Forklift Operator Training - Cal/OSHA - Online

Forklift Operator CAL-OSHA Training

Forklifts are commonplace in many Californian workplaces, and many may think driving a forklift is just like driving a car. Unfortunately, forklift accidents are common, including collisions, pinches, roll-overs, and accidents involving loads or even pedestrians. However, proper training in operation and safe work practices can avoid most accidents.
