Forklift training

Corporate Health Works offers a training program on the Safe Operation of Forklifts. Topics to be discussed include pre-shift inspections and safe operating procedures. The classroom training provides an introductory section on why forklift training is important and necessary and what the new regulations require. It will cover hazard identification including equipment hazards (including power sources), operational hazards and hazards in the working environment. Finally the program will instruct operators on safe work practices and safe operating procedures to minimize the risk of incidence and accidents in the material handling process.

Following the classroom training each participant will be provided with a practical evaluation of their ability to transfer the principles and information obtained in the classroom setting to the safe operation of their forklifts. The Manitoba regulation requires that all forklift operators be trained and certified by the employer as competent operators. Following the classroom training and practical evaluation Corporate Health Works will issue an operator certificate to be signed by the employer upon successful completion of the program. All practical training and evaluation is conducted on-site. 

The course will take one day to complete, each participant will be provided with forklift operator manuals for the type of industrial truck class and exams. Certificates will be issued upon completion of the training program.
