Forklift Operator Safety Training Course
Practical Quality Service of Occupational Health and Safety Training by our experienced trainers
Forklift Safety Training
The Ontario OHS law requires operator of mechanical material handling equipment to be a competent person. The definition of competent person is provided in section 1 of the Ontario OHS Act.
Forklift training aims to fulfil most of the criteria as set by this definition. An operator with adequate hands-on experience under supervision along with this training and certification would fulfil the criteria of competence under the OHS Act.
In addition to the in-class theory of forklift training, which aims to provide knowledge of safe inspections and operations of the forklift, the practical component assesses the skills of the operator to safely apply their knowledge in the operations of the forklift so as to increase productivity and efficiency while reducing the risk of harm to people property and business.
