Does online MEWP or forklift training include hands-on evaluation?
Online training covers the knowledge portion of equipment safety training. Depending on the equipment, employer and applicable requirements, workers may also need workplace-specific instruction, practical training and an evaluation of their ability to operate the equipment safely.
Employers should confirm and complete any practical or site-specific requirements applicable to the employee's actual work.
