About BHG

Your Safety. Our Mission.

BHG Forklift Training trains and evaluates forklift operators at your facility, on your own trucks. Our instructors bring decades of hands-on experience in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants and construction sites.

Our approach is simple: we listen first. Every facility has its own trucks, layout and traffic patterns. We build each session around your equipment, your aisles and docks, and your shifts — so your operators train for the work they actually do.

From Class 1 electric riders in the warehouse to Class 7 rough terrain forklifts on the job site, we cover every OSHA truck class, from our base in Hannibal, Missouri to employers across 17 states in the Midwest and South, in English or Spanish.

Onsite Forklift Training Session

Under 29 CFR 1910.178(l), every operator must complete formal instruction, practical hands-on training and an evaluation of their operating skills in the workplace before running a truck unsupervised. The employer then certifies that each operator was trained and evaluated. The certification records the operator's name, the training date, the evaluation date and who did the training and evaluation.
No. Online modules can cover the classroom portion, but OSHA also requires practical training and an evaluation of each operator's performance in the workplace. That hands-on part has to happen on the kind of truck the operator will use, which is why we train at your facility.
OSHA requires an evaluation of each operator's performance at least once every three years. Refresher training is required sooner if an operator is seen operating unsafely, is involved in an accident or near-miss, is assigned to a different type of truck, or when workplace conditions change in a way that affects safe operation.
All seven OSHA truck classes: Class 1 electric riders, Class 2 narrow aisle reach trucks and order pickers, Class 3 electric pallet jacks and walkies, Class 4 and 5 engine-powered cushion and pneumatic tire forklifts, Class 6 tow tractors, and Class 7 rough terrain forklifts and telehandlers. Training is specific to the trucks your operators actually use.
Yes. Our training is onsite: we come to your warehouse, plant or job site so operators train and are evaluated on your own equipment, in the aisles, docks and yards where they work. We are based in Hannibal, Missouri and travel to employers across our 17-state service area in the Midwest and South.
Yes. We deliver forklift training in English and Spanish, so operators can go through the formal instruction, hands-on practice and workplace evaluation in the language they understand best.
