One OSHA certification works in all 50 states

OSHA forklift certification is a federal requirement under 29 CFR 1910.178. A single compliant course covers operators in every state. You don't need a separate certification for each state you work in.

A few states run their own OSHA-approved plans (California's Cal/OSHA, Washington, Oregon, and others), but their standards meet or exceed federal OSHA. Our course satisfies both. Pick your state below for local details like OSHA office contacts and warehouse job outlook.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a state-specific forklift certification?
No. OSHA forklift certification is federal under 29 CFR 1910.178. One compliant course covers operators in all 50 states. Our $59 course meets federal OSHA and state-plan requirements (Cal/OSHA, Washington, Oregon, and others).
Is online forklift certification OSHA-compliant in my state?
Yes. OSHA accepts online training for the formal instruction portion of certification in every state. Employers are still required to perform a hands-on practical evaluation on the specific equipment the operator will use.
How long does the course take?
Most operators finish in under 1 hour. You can pause and resume at any time. The certificate downloads instantly after passing the exam.
What about California (Cal/OSHA)?
California runs its own OSHA-approved state plan (Cal/OSHA). Its forklift standards mirror federal OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178. Our course satisfies Cal/OSHA requirements, along with state plans in Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and others.
