Editorial standards
Every OSHA Operator guide is written from primary sources, mainly the OSHA regulations published on osha.gov and the ANSI standards that apply to the equipment. Each guide links to the sections it relies on, lists its sources and shows the date it was last reviewed.

How is content researched?
We start from the regulation text, such as 29 CFR 1910.178 for forklifts and 29 CFR 1910.67, 1926.453 and 1926.454 for aerial lifts, plus OSHA interpretation letters and eTools. For MEWPs we also use the ANSI/SAIA A92.20, A92.22 and A92.24 standards. We do not publish statistics, surveys or testimonials we cannot trace to a cited source.
How are guides reviewed?
Before publishing, each guide is checked against the cited sections and against our own course facts (price, exam, validity, refund policy) so pages do not contradict each other. Guides are re-checked when a regulation, standard or our course changes, and the "Last reviewed" date is updated when that happens.
What do we not claim?
- We are a private training provider, not affiliated with OSHA or the U.S. Department of Labor.
- OSHA does not approve or license forklift courses; we never say it does.
- Online training is the formal instruction part only. Employers complete the practical evaluation.
- When our course does not cover a machine, the guide says so and points to the right next step.
