The following statement is made by OSHA in its Standard Interpretations:

" §1910.178(l)(2)(iii) requires that all operator training and evaluation be conducted by a person who has the knowledge, training, and experience to train powered industrial truck operators and evaluate their competence. There is no requirement that the trainer attend a train-the-trainer course. However, you may find it useful to have trainers attend such a course."

The best source for a direct answer to your question would be your closest Illinois office of the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
