In regards to OSHAs new forklift training rule, does a “qualified” or “competent person” need to conduct the training and if so, does the “qualified” person need to be a member of the company?
With respect to forklift training, OSHA has adopted a performance-oriented approach to the qualifications of trainers and evaluators. The trainer and evaluator must be a person or persons with the requisite knowledge, training, and experience to conduct the required training and evaluations. An employer could assign a current employee, employ such instructors/evaluators, or contract with an outside service to conduct the required training and evaluation. Instructors/evaluators do not have to be qualified or competent person as the terms are defined in the construction regulations.
