Forklift Operator Safety
Driving is only part of the job. Safety is key! This course will put you in the driver’s seat.
This is a compliant course for experienced and inexperienced forklift drivers. We deliver the operational safety and practical assessment for learners to operate a motorized, counterbalanced forklift. Ask most airplane pilots what their most important function is, and they’ll likely say “safety”. This is no less true for forklift work, where you’ll have to operate swiftly with people moving around, worry about hazardous materials, and stack loads securely. Your Forklift Operator Safety Certificate is valid for three years. If your card has expired, you will need this training session. This course meets or exceeds all Ontario and CSA regulations and standards.
