How often must Authorized Powered Industrial Truck drivers be re-evaluated?

Yearly
Every 6 months
Every 2 years
Every 3 years

The correct answer is: Every 3 years

Authorized Powered Industrial Truck drivers must be re-evaluated every three years to ensure that they maintain their operational proficiency and safety awareness. This requirement is in line with OSHA regulations, which mandate that employers must evaluate the performance of their operators at least once every three years. Regular evaluations help reinforce safe operating practices, identify any areas needing improvement, and ensure that drivers are aware of any new equipment or safety protocols that may have been implemented since their last evaluation. Keeping the evaluation period at three years strikes a balance between maintaining competency and not imposing unnecessary burdens on both the operators and the employers.
