Forklift

110 min · 12 modules · English and French

A forklift weighs several tonnes, and its load can tip it over in a second. Most accidents come from a tip-over, a poorly secured load or a collision with a pedestrian. This course gives operators the fundamentals to drive, stack and travel safely, and also introduces the telehandler.

What the law says

In Quebec, the ROHS (s. 256.3) requires forklift operators to receive both theoretical and practical training. This course covers the theory; supervised hands-on training on your own equipment remains the employer’s responsibility. CSA standards, including B335, serve as the reference.
