Forklift / Lift Truck Operator Safety Training – Blended Learning (Online + In-Person)
Comprehensive OSHA Forklift Certification Course
The Forklift / Lift Truck Operator Safety Training at Tribune Training Academy combines flexible online learning with convenient in-person sessions. Students first complete an interactive online module covering OSHA 1910.178 safety standards, then schedule their in-person evaluation any day of the week — available 7 days a week at our Queens, NY training center.
This blended program is designed for warehouse, construction, and industrial workers seeking OSHA-compliant forklift certification accepted throughout New York City.
Course Description
This course provides a thorough understanding of forklift operation safety, inspection procedures, and hazard recognition aligned with OSHA and ANSI standards.
