To legally operate a forklift (or other powered industrial truck), you must first be certified. You, as an individual, can be fined for not complying with OSHA regulations. Of course, you may be interested in being certified so that you can get a job. Already having your certification will give you a definite advantage over those who are not certified when looking for employment.
In some cases, employers require certification before you can even apply for a job. The bottom line is, once you have completed your certification, you will have the knowledge and confidence you need to work safely and competently on the job.
I'm not sure if I need a certification, I only drive a forklift sometimes to help out.
OSHA law requires ALL employees that drive a forklift at any time to have passed certification training.
