Which Government Workers Need Forklift Training?
Any government employee who operates a forklift (powered industrial truck) as part of their job requires OSHA-compliant forklift training and certification. What surprises most agencies is how many departments actually have forklift operators on staff. It’s not just the obvious warehouse or loading dock roles. Public works yards, correctional supply rooms, utilities depots, campus receiving docks, and transit maintenance facilities all run forklifts regularly.

OSHA Compliance
The forklift training programs are designed in alignment with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178, ANSI B56.1, and the CSA B335-25 Safety Standard for Lift Trucks.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 requires all forklift operators to be trained and certified before operating powered industrial trucks. This requirement applies equally to government agencies — federal, state, and municipal employers are subject to the same mandatory training standards as private sector employers.
Government Agency Forklift Training Responsibilities
Under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178, government agencies are responsible for ensuring all forklift operators complete training that includes:
- General Training: Forklift fundamentals, theory, safe operation, and hazard recognition.
- Assessment: A knowledge evaluation confirming the operator’s understanding of the training material.
- Practical Training: Workplace and equipment-specific training conducted onsite on the actual equipment the operator will use.
- Practical Evaluation: An assessment of the operator’s ability to safely operate the equipment in their specific work environment.
Our forklift training solutions give government agencies the flexibility to deliver all required training components (online, blended, or fully instructor-led) while maintaining the centralized records and documentation your agency needs to demonstrate compliance.
