Forklift Training Verification

Q: Do our employees need to have their forklift certification cards on them at all times, or could they be in their lockers here at work?  
A:  OSHA requires that you as a company maintain records verifying that your employees were in fact trained on forklifts. It is not necessary for your employees to keep a card on them at all times.  However, you may hand the cards out to employees and make a copy for yourself to keep on record. This way you have two forms of documentation, one being the training logs from the training and the copy of the cards being the other.
