Osha Forklift Certification
QUESTION:As for the special classification, if you need one for a limo, or a forklift, or a boat, or a bus, why not an SUV? By the way, the limit is not based on type,
but mass.
ANSWER: No, the need for a special license for a limo or a bus is based on the
fact that you are driving someone ele's vehicle as an employee, or
driving a public livery vehicle. The only reason for a special licinse
is that it is a commercial enterprise, which the government uses as an
excuse to get more involved. As for forklifts, the reason for a
different certification (not license) is that their operation is
regulated by a different agency, OSHA, of the federal government, as
opposed to the state DMV. Boats do not require an operator's license,
unless you are again operating a boat for hire as a business, in which
case the captain, but not necessarily the person at the wheel, must be
licensed.
