OSHA's regulatory reference:
Cal OSHA Title 8 Section 3668
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.178
OSHA REGULATIONS FOR FORKLIFT OPERATORS - In place since December 1, 1998
Are You in Compliance? The Employer is Responsible for OSHA Compliance for all its Lift Truck Operators.
On December 1, 1998, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published a standard that revised the existing requirements of 29 CFR 1910.178 and issued new requirements to improve the training of powered industrial truck operators.
This standard is intended to reduce the number of injuries and deaths that occur as a result of inadequate operator training. The powered industrial truck operator training requirements will apply to all industries except agricultural operations.
The employer must evaluate the operators' performance before allowing any employee to use a vehicle in the workplace, except for training purposes.
The employer may designate any qualified employee as Trainer/Evaluator. There are no special or additional "Train the Trainer" requirements. For more info >>

"Training and evaluation shall be conducted by a person with the knowledge, training and experience to train powered industrial truck operators and evaluate their competence".
