Customer reviews
Feedback sent back by customers after completing the course.
“I took the course between shifts and liked being able to stop and pick up where I left off. The sections on load balance and visibility were easy to connect to our warehouse floor.”
Powered industrial trucks
OSHA groups powered industrial trucks into classes. Our training covers every one of them, so an operator can move between equipment without a second course.
29 CFR 1910.178(l)(3)
OSHA requires training on the specific type of truck an operator will use. Covering all six classes keeps a crew compliant when the equipment changes.
Class 1
Sit-down counterbalanced electric forklifts used in warehouses and indoor facilities.
Learn moreClass 2
Stand-up reach trucks and order pickers for high-density racking.
Learn moreClass 3
Walkie pallet jacks and motorized hand-controlled trucks.
Learn moreClass 4
IC-engine trucks with solid tires for smooth indoor floors.
Learn moreClass 5
IC-engine trucks with air-filled tires for yards and rough surfaces.
Learn moreClass 6
Tow tractors that pull loads in airports, plants and yards.

Type what you drive — "cherry picker", "telehandler", "stand-up reach truck", "walkie" — and we'll tell you the OSHA class and whether this certification covers it.
Why OSHA Operator
Operators want to get on the truck. Safety managers want the paperwork to be right. We built this for both.
The course walks the formal-instruction topics in 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(3) one by one — truck controls, stability, load handling, refueling and charging, pedestrian safety, site hazards — then hands your employer the evaluation form that closes the loop on your own equipment.
Narrated lessons and knowledge checks you can pause between shifts. Finish the course and the exam in one sitting, download your certificate the same day, and your printed card is already on its way.
Questions before you buy, during the course, or when a new hire can't find the login — our US-based team answers by email and chat 24/7, in English or Spanish. No overseas call center.
For employers and safety teams
Warehouses, DCs, manufacturers and contractors use OSHA Operator to onboard operators without pulling a shift offline — and to walk into an inspection with every record ready.
Seats from $45 at 2 seats down to $35 at 50+. Discounts apply automatically. W-9, PO and net terms on request.
Add names and emails from your dashboard. Each operator gets a login and starts the self-paced course when their shift allows.
Certificate, written score, practical evaluation and evaluator signature in one PDF — the training record 1910.178(l)(6) asks you to keep.
