Forklift Train-the-Trainer | 10/16
Virtual Class
Number of Seats Available: 6When it comes to meeting the compliance rules for forklift training, employers may not be aware of how difficult it truly is to train and document this process correctly.
Employers must properly train all forklift drivers at their company regardless of experience and document the process. We created Forklift Train-the-Trainer to adequately prepare an employee to inform, train, evaluate, and certify new or experienced forklift operators to meet OSHA and WISHA codes.
You receive a DVD, a Flash Drive with a PowerPoint training program that compliments the DVD, sample tests, and many other handouts designed to help train your forklift operators.
Note: This class does not involve forklift driving but will help your trainer design the skills component of your in-house drivers’ training to meet the code.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Prepare the workplace for forklift training, including a hazard assessment of work areas.
- List the required content areas a forklift trainer must cover to meet Washington State regulations.
- Prepare a forklift training program to be delivered in the workplace.

Technology Minimums for Attending Virtual Training
Archbright provides virtual training to our members so that they can attend courses from most anywhere, but each attendee must ensure that they are working from a location that has the necessary connectivity to the internet to facilitate participation.
Internet connectivity minimums
To ensure that you have a positive experience attending an Archbright University virtual course, you should verify that your internet connectivity provides a minimum of 5 Megabits per second (Mbps) in upload speed. Most internet packages for home-use are advertised by their download speed and not upload speed, and while this can be important for streaming movies or music, it isn’t the only consideration. For using WebEx, Skype for Business, or any VTC solution, the upload speed is just as important as the download speed.
How can I tell what I currently have?
If you are unsure what you currently have, please reach out to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and request the information directly.
If they are unable to give you that information, please visit www.speedtest.net while connected to the internet in the same manner you intend to attend the virtual training…and perform a speed test.
Wireless technology minimums
Additionally, if you connect wirelessly, as many of us do, make sure your wireless router can broadcast at the same speed as your upload speed, if not even higher.
Wireless routers can broadcast at over 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) these days, and many companies don't upgrade your router when you upgrade service. This often means that your wireless speeds are significantly lower than the upload speed that is available to you. This can cause significant issues with using WebEx over your wireless connection.
Other considerations
Remember that each device connected to the internet in your location is taking some of that download and upload capability and wireless connectivity. If you have many devices in your network, it is recommended to have significantly higher speeds to accommodate the increased traffic.
Please contact your internal IT team if you have any questions.
