Heavy Vehicle & Equipment Safety Training Online
4 online courses for the machines that do the heavy work: forklifts, aerial lifts (MEWPs), crane signaling and mobile crane planning. $30–$40 per course, 1–2 hours each, certificate the same day.
Powered equipment concentrates risk: a forklift tips, a boom lift meets a power line, a pick goes wrong because the signal caller and the operator never trained on the same vocabulary. These courses cover safe forklift operation for general industry, MEWP and aerial lift safety, certified crane hand signals, and an introduction to mobile crane lift planning for crews who set up and work around cranes.
Each course is self-paced and mobile-friendly, and ends with a test you can retake free until you pass; the certificate of completion verifies online by unique code and stays valid for two years. One honest note: for operator roles OSHA requires your employer to complete a hands-on practical evaluation on the specific equipment — our forklift and MEWP courses deliver the formal-instruction portion, so your employer only has the practical left to document.

Certified Crane Signal & Safety: Online Hand Signals Training Course
The signal person is the crane operator's eyes. Learn every standard hand signal, clear radio communication, load and swing-path awareness, and the coordination that keeps crews alive around heavy lifts. Become the qualified signaler sites are required to have.
Introduction to Mobile Crane Planning
A safe lift is won before the crane ever moves. Learn to read load charts, assess ground conditions, plan setup and swing paths, and control the hazards that cause tip-overs and dropped loads. Plan lifts that pass inspection and protect everyone on site.
MEWP Aerial Lift Safety
Scissor lifts and boom lifts put you high in the air on a moving platform — respect them. Learn pre-use inspection, stability and load limits, fall protection, and safe operation that meets ANSI and OSHA standards. Operate any MEWP with confidence.
Safe Forklift Operation for General Industry
Forklifts cause thousands of injuries a year, usually from skipped basics. Learn pre-use inspection, safe load handling, stability and tip-over prevention, pedestrian awareness, and refueling — everything OSHA requires to operate. Get certified and cleared to drive.
Training a whole crew?
Buy seats once, assign courses to workers, track completion and share a QR certificate roster with site checkers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this certify me to drive a forklift?
It covers the formal-instruction half of OSHA's requirement. Your employer must also run a hands-on evaluation on the truck you will operate — most do it in-house in under an hour. Our certificate documents the classroom portion with online verification.
Who should take the crane signal course?
Anyone designated to give hand signals to a crane operator — riggers, spotters, tower ground crews — plus operators who need to read them. It is a 1-hour course with a same-day certificate.
Is the MEWP course brand-specific?
No — it covers scissor and boom lifts generally: pre-use inspection, fall protection in the platform, ground hazards and safe positioning. Familiarization on your specific machine stays with the employer, in line with OSHA and ANSI requirements.
How long do certificates last?
Two years, with online verification by unique code and a reminder before expiry.
