oes training from a previousemployer count? Yes! and No!Training received from a previous employer can meet the general, classroom-type training requirement, if such training was appropriate to the truck and working conditions encountered and if the operator was evaluated and found competent to operate the truck safely within three years. However, the current employer is still responsible for site-specific hands-on train-ing for the specific forklift that the employee will be using. Additionally, the current em-ployer is required to observe and evaluate the employee's ability to safely operate the forklift. Both the training and the evaluation have to be documented.
