FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When is retraining required?

PIT operator certification is good for a three-year period, unless there is a change in workplace conditions or the vehicle to be operated. In these cases, the operator must be retrained and re-evaluated to ensure that they can safely operate. If it has been three years since their last certification, it is recommended that operators retake the formal (classroom or online) training, in addition to completing the practical evaluation.

What if the operator already has experience?

Operators may receive part of their training from an outside agency or company, such as Evergreen Safety Council’s Forklift Operator course. However, they will still need to be evaluated by their employer on the forklift they operate in their workplace, and employers must keep a record of that evaluation.

Who should undergo training?

Every person who operates a powered industrial truck. Each operator must have documentation of training and evaluation.
