Forklifts are highly hazardous machines which can quickly become killers. Each year dozens of workers are injured or killed during routine operations. Recent fatal accidents have prompted inspectors to tighten the application of regulations. Under the law, supervisors and owners can be held criminally responsible for accidents caused by negligence, lack of training, supervision or equipment maintenance with the possibility of imprisonment as seen in the past.
Provincial work safety acts require training for all forklift operators as well as an assessment of user ability under normal working conditions. In addition to this requirement, the safety of your employees and business continuity could be threatened by the improper use of these devices.
The theoretical component (approx. 3 hours) on the safe driving of forklifts allows the employee to fully understand the dangers associated with the use of these machines. The practical part allows him to visualize the effect of his input on the device. For an experienced operator, the practical assessment (compulsory by law) is approximately 20 minutes. For a new driver, it is necessary to plan approx. 60 minutes in order to allow the trainer to properly supervise the employee. A written report is submitted for each candidate.
Intended audience: Forklift operators.
Note : If your employees handle dangerous goods, they must have a training certificate in the transportation of dangerous goods regulations (TMD-101) and WHMIS (WHM-101). Each participant receives our driver’s guide and a training certificate.

The same requirement found in the Health and Safety Act which requires training for all forklift operators is valid for the use of pallet trucks. In addition to this obligation, the health and safety of your employees and the continuity of business could be threatened by the improper use of these machines, which are frequent causes of accidents and death. In addition penalties may be levied against the employer. It is the responsibility of the employer to see to the adequate training of its employees. This training can be combined with our forklift classes.
