Forklift Operations-OSHA 2000 Standard (This course consist of two, half-day classes)
This course meets the OSHA 2000 Standard, which brought about many changes in forklift operations. The new standard for example,
redefines the term powered lift truck. The term now includes any self-propelled mobile unit used to haul (either horizontally or vertically) tools,
supplies or personnel. Golf carts used by maintenance personnel for instance, fall under this new definition. You could also be required

already meets the standard.
