Powered Industrial Truck - Michigan
|Subject: Powered Industrial Truck |
|Topic: Permit |
|Question: I wanted information on how to obtain a forklift license in the state of Michigan. What is the process and what is the price? |
|Answer: In Michigan, an employer is responsible to provide employees with a permit to operate a powered industrial truck, commonly referred to as a forklift or |
|hi-lo. The employer must ensure the employee meets the specific requirements stated in Michigan General Industry Safety and Health Standard Part 21. Powered |
|Industrial Trucks. |
|The requirements for operator selection include physical capabilities such as effective use of all 4 limbs, sufficient height, coordination between eyes, hands, |
|and feet, freedom from known convulsive disorders and corrected vision to the level acceptable for a Michigan driver’s license. A valid Michigan driver’s license |
|or a doctor's certificate is proof of the corrected vision. |
|Once the operator is selected the employer must train the employee. Training may be completed either by the employer of by someone selected by the employer. |
|Training shall consist of a combination of formal instruction such as lecture, discussion, interactive computer learning, videotape, written material, and |
|practical training, including testing of the operator’s performance in the workplace. The practical portion of the training must be on the powered industrial |
|truck, or same type of powered industrial truck as the one the employee will be operating. |
|Typically the costs associated with training employees to operate a powered industrial truck are the responsibility of the employer. |
