Accepted Answer

Customized safety training and forklift certification cover different things and often run together.

Question 18

How long does a forklift or aerial lift certification stay valid?

Accepted Answer

Certification through Rugged Training Group is valid for three years, applicable across Las Vegas, throughout Nevada, and across the entire United States. After that window, operators need recertification to stay compliant with OSHA and ANSI standards.

Question 19

Do subcontractors need OSHA 10-Hour or 30-Hour training even if their own company already trained them?

Accepted Answer

If the site is a controlling employer's responsibility, OSHA's Multi-Employer Citation Policy means that employer can still be held accountable for a subcontractor's safety gaps. Requiring OSHA 10-Hour or 30-Hour General Industry Outreach training as a condition of working on your site closes that gap regardless of what the subcontractor's own company already covered.

Question 20

How long does forklift or aerial lift certification last for a subcontractor crew?

Accepted Answer

Certification through Rugged Training Group's Forklift & Aerial Lift Operator Safety Certification stays valid for three years, whether it's completed on-site or through our online course. Keep a copy of each operator's certification and topic documentation on file so it's ready if a client or inspector requests it.
