Forklift operator evaluation scheduler

Each line is read as a name and a date. The due date is the last evaluation date plus 36 months, with the day clamped to the end of the month where it has to be, so 29 February plus three years lands on 28 February rather than rolling into March.

An operator is overdue the day after the due date, not on it: the rule says at least once every three years, so the anniversary is the last day the evaluation can happen. Anything falling within 90 days is flagged as due soon, which is a scheduling convenience of ours, not a regulatory threshold.

The three-year interval is not typed here from memory. It comes from the forklift operator training and certification template in this library, whose data carries the interval and the clause together, and the schema refuses an interval whose citation is not one that template cites.

Three years is the outside limit, not the only trigger. 1910.178(l)(4)(ii) also requires refresher training when an operator is seen driving unsafely, is in an accident or near miss, evaluates poorly, is put on a different type of truck, or when workplace conditions change in a way that could affect safe operation. This tool tracks the clock only; it cannot see any of those.

The certification record OSHA asks for under 1910.178(l)(6) has to name the operator, the training date, the evaluation date, and who did the training or evaluation. A due date list is not that record. This tool is a scheduling aid, not a training record and not legal advice.
