Forklift Safety Training

As one of the largest forklift training providers in Ontario, Industrial Safety Trainers prides ourselves in delivering impactful discussion-based training on the safe use of forklifts. In addition, our forklift safety certification follows the CSA Standard B335-15 for the Safe Operation of Lifting trucks,  as well as the Ministry of Labour, Training & Skills Development “Guideline for The Safe Operation and Maintenance of Powered Lift Trucks.”

As part of the above standards, our Forklift Safety Training will see participants participate in an extensive review of the following elements:

 The legal stuff

• Understanding the legal requirements for operating lift trucks in Ontario

Understanding the hazards of working with lift trucks

• Time is taken to discuss with participants the main contributing factors to accidents, incidents or near misses involving forklift equipment.

• As part of that discussion, we go into detail the top 4 hazards associated with the operation of a lift truck which are:

  • The people factor– how people contribute to accidents or incidents

  • The equipment we operate – do we understand it, do we have the right equipment?

  • The environment we work in and

  • The materials we move – do we know elements like weight and balance?
