Safety First & Training
If you use material handling equipment, you probably already know that everyone who operates a forklift or other powered industrial equipment must successfully complete a training course and evaluation. Nobody wants to have an accident on the job. Protect your business and your employees by making sure they know how to safely operate a forklift.
Our team at Briggs Equipment offers quality and practical training for any type of equipment your business operates:
- Forklifts: Stand-up, Sit-down, Electric, IC–We do it all
- Boom Lifts
- Electric Pallet Jacks
- Telehandlers
- Railcar Movers
- Trailer Spotters
We can help with any kind of powered industrial truck operator training. Schedule training for one employee or your whole team. Contact your nearest location today to schedule your training session.
How it Works
Delivered at your site, using your equipment, our site-specific training consists of a combination of formal instruction (lecture, discussion, written testing) and practical training including:
Training Exercises
Demonstrations by the trainer, and exercises performed by the trainee.
Evaluation
Evaluation of the operator trainee performance in the workplace.
Certification
Upon completion, the operator is issued an AWPI Operator Certification card valid for 3 years.

How to Get Forklift Certified?
You'll need to register and successfully complete a forklift safety training course in order to get certified. Once you successfully complete the course, you'll receive the certification. This certification has to be renewed every three years and every time there’s a safety incident or close call. There are many places you can get your certification, but we tailor our training courses to offer both safety and efficiency improvements.
Here at Briggs Equipment, we offer training directly on your job site, with your equipment. We know that training employees on the equipment they’ll use is the fastest and most efficient way to learn. The certification course includes a written section as well as a hands-on section. We find that a combination of both is the most effective way to help students remember.
