Why You Need In-Person OSHA Certification Training
According to OSHA and ANSI, all employees and subcontractors must be certified to utilize this equipment. Currently, OSHA fines range from $8,000 to $14,000 per violation, depending on the size of the company. What many people do not realize is that the scope of liability falls not only on the employer, but employees and subcontractors share a personal liability as well.

From a safety standpoint, this machinery is very dangerous to operate, there are hundreds of fatalities and thousands more serious injuries in the U.S. alone. Our practical training is far superior to online courses that do not offer hands-on experience. Our knowledgeable safety instructor gives everyone the personal attention that they need in order to understand the equipment and feel confident in operating it. Companies that are interested only in eliminating liability are taking advantage of generic, free on-line courses that simply require a login to a digital course. However, if safety is a priority, then hands-on practical training is the only way to go. What sets us apart is that we care about the health and well-being of you and your employees and are genuinely interested in making your job site a safer work environment. That is what we have done for over 25 years, and we love what we do.

Forklift Certification
Motive Solutions qualified Instructors can certify your staff on-site, meaning your team receives more realistic training and less downtime. Seatbelts, pedestrian safety, visibility, load stability and maintenance are just a few key points highlighted in this training.
Aerial Lift Certification
Our Aerial Boom & Scissor Lift (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms – MEWP’s) Certification can get your employees up to OSHA standards, improve workplace safety and prevent product loss. We focus on load limits, overhead hazards, work zone safety and fall protection in these classes.
Fall Protection
All fall protection products fit into four functional categories: fall arrest, positioning, suspension, and retrieval. We teach your employees proper techniques and the use of equipment to best protect themselves in the event of a fall.
Lock-out / Tag-out
Failure to control hazardous energy accounts for nearly 10% of serious accidents in many industries. This is where proper maintenance and pre-shift inspections of the equipment are crucial. Proper Lock-out / Tag-out practices and procedures safeguard workers from hazardous energy releases.
Skid Steer Loaders
Certify your employees on these common pieces of jobsite equipment to maximize their utilization and productivity.
Rough-terrain Telehandlers (Lull)
This is perhaps the most dangerous piece of equipment operated on jobsites. Excessive loads, unstable terrain and operator error are just a few ways that a Telehandler can tip and overturn. Proper safety training is imperative to avoid serious injury or fatality.
Electric Pallet Jacks
Used mainly in warehouses, pallet jacks look safe, but as with any piece of industrial equipment, they come with certain hazards. Safety training is essential to prevent accidents.
Why Choose Us?
Training employees in workplace safety is time and money well spent. At Motive Solutions, we have seen firsthand that following workplace safety regulations significantly reduces the risk of workplace accidents, injuries and fatalities. This also means increased productivity and reduced turnover rates while also improving employee morale and job satisfaction.
What our experience has shown is that the cost of accident prevention is significantly lower than the cost of accidents, as it decreases workers’ compensation and medical expenses and limits equipment damage and product loss. Above all else, it is our aim to help employers create a safe work environment that will attract and retain qualified employees and maintain a positive reputation in their industry by making the welfare of their employees a priority.
