Train the Trainer Program
The Train‑the‑Trainer program is not just a regulatory obligation; it is an investment in safety, operational efficiency and professional development.
By training key people within your organization as certified instructors, the company can maintain a consistent training program tailored to its reality and updated with the latest regulations, resulting in a safer work environment, better prepared operators and compliance without relying on third parties.
Program content and methodology
A good Train‑the‑Trainer course covers theoretical and practical topics that enable the design and delivery of internal programs:
Regulations and certification
Review of OSHA rules (29 CFR 1910.178) and, in many cases, CSA/ANSI standards. The process of certification and documentation requirements is explained.
Designing training programs
How to develop and deliver a comprehensive training program within the company, design evaluation exercises and create educational materials, learning principles, learning styles and communication techniques so the instructor can capture workers’ attention.
Technical forklift content
Anatomy and operation of different types of forklifts, stability, load capacity, refueling, pre‑use inspections, safe operating procedures and load handling.
Operator evaluation
How to perform practical and theoretical evaluations by observing driving, maneuvering, load handling, ramp driving and dock procedures.
Refreshers and follow‑up
Strategies to implement refresher training and keep records up to date, as well as techniques for continuous improvement of the program.

Selecting the ideal trainer
Not every person is suitable to be an instructor. It is recommended to choose those who have:
A genuine interest in training and strong communication skills.
An impeccable safety record and experience with the company.
Basic knowledge of forklift operation and a willingness to correct unsafe behaviors.
Organizational skills.
Benefits for your company
Having certified in‑house instructors provides strategic advantages:
Internal training reduces travel expenses and minimizes downtime. Companies can schedule sessions when most convenient.
Instructors use the company’s own equipment and address its specific risks, improving transfer to the workplace.
New employees can be certified quickly, and refresher training can be organized whenever procedures or equipment change.
Having internal trainers strengthens a prevention culture; employees learn to identify risks and communicate them proactively.
