American Owned, American Built: Why That Matters in OSHA Forklift Training

A small thing that adds up to a big thing

OSHA Operator is a small American-owned online company serving all 50 states. Our self-paced online course features narrated lessons, knowledge checks, and interactive activities designed around practical warehouse, fleet, and EHS expertise. When you email support@oshaoperator.com, we reply within one business day.

We didn't set the company up this way because it's the cheapest way (it isn't). We set it up this way because we believe the American workforce is the most important workforce in the world to invest in, and we're going to put our money where our mouth is.

What "American owned" actually means at OSHA Operator

• 100% American ownership. No foreign holding companies, no offshore parent.
• Self-paced online training. Operators can start anytime and learn at their own pace. Instructor with real warehouse, distribution, or industrial experience.
• U.S.-based support. We answer support@oshaoperator.com within one business day. Casey is our automated chat assistant.
• U.S. Server infrastructure. Your data stays on U.S.-based cloud infrastructure.
• Wallet cards mailed from the U.S.. Printed and mailed by our team in the U.S., never a foreign fulfillment vendor.

The 10% Give-Back Promise

Since day one, 10% of every dollar of profit OSHA Operator earns has been donated to 501(c)(3) nonprofits that support two specific groups of Americans:

1. U.S. Military veterans transitioning back to civilian work
2. Returning citizens rebuilding their lives after incarceration

Both groups are skilled, both groups are hungry to work, and a single forklift certification often opens the door to a $22–$30/hour job that changes a family's trajectory forever.

If you're in either group, we waive your admission fee entirely. One email. Sales@oshaoperator.com. Is all it takes.

Why this matters for employers

When you train your team with OSHA Operator, you're not just buying a certificate. You're joining a small, growing community of American employers who are quietly choosing to keep their training dollars at home. And helping fund the workforce of tomorrow at the same time.
