The Northeast Florida Safety Council, in partnership with First Coast Technical College, now offers Hands-On Forklift Driver Training. This 8-hour combination of classroom and actual behind-the-wheel training is geared toward drivers who have little or no forklift-driving experience.

The classroom portion covers all aspects of Powered Industrial Truck (Forklift) Safety.  This information-packed classroom course encourages participants to observe, analyze and discuss recommended safety practices. Upon completion of this course, participants must pass a written test.  This satisfies the OSHA Powered Industrial Truck (Forklift) Standard, 1910.178.

During the hands-on portion participants will be taught basic forklift operation and receive practical training in the skill set needed to safely drive a forklift.

Prerequisites:

Participants must be at least 18 years of age to enroll and they must have successfully completed the 4-hour Forklift Safety Training Class prior to attending the hands-on training.

Employers must train forklift operators on each type of forklift they may operate at their place of employment and on how to drive safely in the workplace.

Please remember to sign up for the classroom portion of this course, if you have not already completed it.
