OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 requires forklift operator re-evaluation every 3 years. With operators spread across shifts, warehouses, and jobsites, it's easy to miss a renewal. ExpirVault tracks every operator's certification date and alerts you before the 3-year mark hits.

An uncertified forklift operator is one of the most commonly cited OSHA violations. The consequences hit fast and hard.
Allowing an uncertified operator to run a forklift is a serious OSHA violation under 29 CFR 1910.178. Each uncertified operator counts as a separate citation. With 10 uncertified operators, you're looking at $160,000+ in potential fines.
If an OSHA inspector finds expired certifications, they can order operators off the forklifts immediately. In a busy distribution center, losing forklift operators means pallets stop moving, trucks can't get loaded, and shipments miss their windows.
Forklift accidents cause roughly 85 deaths and 34,900 serious injuries per year in the US. If your operator's certification was expired at the time of an incident, your company bears maximum liability. Insurance claims get denied. Lawsuits become indefensible.
Enter each operator's last certification date. ExpirVault calculates the 3-year renewal deadline per 29 CFR 1910.178 and sends email reminders at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before expiry -- enough time to schedule re-evaluation training.
Upload photos of forklift certification cards, training checklists, and practical evaluation forms. When OSHA shows up for an inspection, pull up any operator's documentation in seconds instead of searching through binders.
Track operators across multiple warehouses, distribution centers, and jobsites from one screen. Filter by location, equipment type (sit-down, stand-up, reach truck), or expiry status to see who needs re-evaluation first.
ExpirVault tracks the 3-year renewal cycle for every forklift operator and alerts you before certifications lapse.
