Equipment Operator Records — The OSHA Requirement You Miss

Quick Answer

Yes. For forklifts/powered industrial trucks, 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(6) explicitly requires written certification containing: the name of the operator, the date of training, the date of evaluation, and the identity of the person performing the training/evaluation. For cranes, third-party certification cards plus employer site-specific evaluations must be documented and available on site.
