Course Details

Forklifts are critical to the efficient operation on many industrial operations. They allow movement of loads and the ability to store at heights to be completed with relative ease and helps to reduce the number of workplace injuries, by replacing lifting and carrying with mechanically aided movement of loads.

Because of the height at which forklifts can operate, incidents represent a significant risk of catastrophic consequences. Saskatchewan provincial legislation has very specific regulations governing the training required for operators of forklifts and this course meets those requirements.
