Requirements and Qualifications FAQs

11. Do I need a license or certification to operate a forklift?

    No, OSHA regulations stipulate that forklift operators must be at least 18 years old. This is a federal safety standard to ensure that operators have the maturity and training required to operate heavy equipment safely.
