Certified Forklift Train the Trainer Course (CFFOT) (Refresher)

Course Description

Each year, tens of thousands of forklift-related injuries occur in U.S. workplaces. Many employees are injured when lift trucks are inadvertently driven off loading docks or lifts fall between docks and an unsecured trailer. Employees are also struck by a lift truck or fall while on elevated pallets and tines. Most incidents also involve property damage, including damage to overhead sprinklers, racks, pipes, walls, and machinery. Unfortunately, most employee injuries and property damage can be attributed to a lack of safe operating procedures, a lack of safety-rule enforcement, and insufficient or inadequate training.

The IASHEP Forklift “Train-the-Trainer” Refresher Course is a comprehensive two-day course in which participants will learn how to legally establish an “in-house” forklift training program. The course focuses on the new OSHA training regulations, how they affect your company, and how to comply with the new standards.

This refresher course is required to be attended every three years to maintain your credential. At the end of the course, your trainer or employee will have the tools and knowledge to return to work and establish an “in-house” training program that is specific to your company’s operation and equipment types, while meeting OSHA requirements.

Participants must be knowledgeable and experienced with the equipment they will be training operators on and must develop and present a one-hour training topic. This ensures that the training delivered is practical, effective, and tailored to the specific needs and safety requirements of their workplace.
