    FAQ

    Common questions about find training near you

    Yes. OSHA is a federal agency, so 29 CFR 1910.178 applies in all 50 states. Some states (California, Washington, Oregon, Michigan, and others) operate state OSHA plans that meet or exceed federal requirements, our curriculum is built to the federal baseline that all U.S. Jurisdictions accept.

    Yes, for the formal instruction portion. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(2)(ii) explicitly allows formal instruction (lecture, discussion, interactive computer learning, video, written material) to be delivered online. However, OSHA also requires practical training on the actual equipment in the actual workplace plus an operator evaluation conducted by a qualified person, this on-site portion is the employer's responsibility. We provide a complete evaluation form for your supervisor.

    Most students finish the lessons in under an hour (median 37 minutes), then take the final exam. It is self-paced, so you can stop and pick up where you left off.

    Register on our site, pay $55 (employer team seats are $45 each from 2 seats and lower on volume), start self-paced training anytime, complete formal instruction, and pass the final exam. You'll receive a temporary digital certificate the same day and a hard-copy wallet card by mail (we typically mail it the next business day; delivery is handled by the carrier). Your employer must then complete the workplace-specific practical evaluation required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(l).

    Three years from the date of evaluation, per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(4)(iii). You must also be re-evaluated (refresher training) sooner if you are involved in an accident or near-miss, are observed operating unsafely, are assigned a new type of truck, or your workplace conditions change in a way that affects safe operation.
