This course helps to partially fulfill OSHA's instructional training requirements for forklift certification as follows:
- General Industry: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178
- Construction: OSHA 29 CFR 1926.602(d) and 1926.451(g)(2)
- Oil and Gas: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178
- Maritime: OSHA 29 CFR 1917.43 and OSHA 29 CFR 1918.65

The employer is ultimately responsible for certifying that operators are qualified to operate forklifts.
