Industrial
Training & Design Ltd.
has developed a Forklift Safety course that meets all
requirements under Occupational Health & Safety regulations. More
and more workplace incidents involving loss of material, property
damage and injury involve forklifts. Forklifts are surprisingly
deceptive to use, more so than is understood by even experienced
forklift operators. Our 4-hour course is designed to address
typical safety-related concerns in the operation of these
everyday machines.
Please
note that this course is a Forklift Safety course, not a
Forklift Operator’s course.
The course
includes the following:
-
Forklift

-
Forklift
Accident Theory
-
Safe

-
Forklift
Pre-Operational Checklist & Inspection Procedures
-
Forklift

-
Material
Handling Primer
-

-

battery considerations
-

-

Stacking Safety
-

Protective Structures
The course
includes both a classroom and practical component. Written
testing and driver operation are evaluated to ensure your
employees have the skills necessary to operate forklifts
incident-free.

minimum Occupational Health & Safety requirements, see:
Forklift
accidents do happen, and happen more often than you think. This
4-hour course instructs the experienced forklift operator in how
these accidents occur, and what can be done to prevent them.
Classroom theory in forklift accident causation addresses the
routinely practiced substandard acts that lead to overturns,
spills, and loss. An optional module on forklift operations
provides the operator with an opportunity to assess their own
skills, and change their operational patterns.
The course
has been well received by our corporate clients, and more
importantly, well received by even experienced forklift operators
as being a valid and common-sense course.
This program
is available as one of our computer-based
training packages.
