Stand up forklift certification has specific requirements to ensure proper training. Operators attend a comprehensive program covering equipment operation, safety, and workplace rules. They must pass written tests and hands-on evaluations to show their understanding. Physical fitness and good vision are also crucial for safe operation.

Stand up forklift training requirements are established by OSHA. Their guideline 29 CFR 1910.78 (1) (1) requires that all forklift operators, including stand up lift operators, complete an OSHA-approved training program.
