Train the Trainer Programs in Seattle, WA

NIS offers the most advanced Train the Trainer Programs in the industry, now available for Seattle area businesses. Our Instructor Programs cover three equipment categories — Forklifts, Aerial Lifts, and Loaders — giving your company the ability to develop and deliver fully compliant in-house operator training across your entire fleet.

All NIS Train the Trainer programs meet and exceed regulatory requirements. Our programs are fully compliant with Washington Labor & Industries (L&I) standards and WAC 296-863, the Washington State regulation governing powered industrial truck operator training under the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH). Washington State operates its own OSHA-approved safety plan — our expert team of certified trainers will deliver a program enabling your Seattle company to develop a regulatory compliant operator training program that holds up to L&I inspection.

Why Train Your Operators In-House?

Take control of your in-house training and certification programs, and certify your operators to your local equipment and operating conditions. Conducting site-specific operator training and certification will lower your workplace incidents and accidents as your operators will gain knowledge and practice in the environment they are expected to operate within.

In-house training will also decrease your overall training expenses while increasing safety in your Seattle workplace by educating your coworkers on local best practices. Washington State operates its own OSHA-approved safety plan through L&I / DOSH, meaning state-level requirements apply directly to your facility — as a certified NIS Trainer, you will gain the knowledge to educate, train, and evaluate your operators on an ongoing basis, keeping your documentation current and your workplace fully compliant with Washington L&I requirements.
