Public Course Details

Forklifts are powerful machines that can cause serious accidents and injuries if not operated correctly. As an employer, you have a legal responsibility to ensure your forklift operators are trained to recognize hazards and stay safe at all times. To help you meet these obligations, we have designed our forklift training to meet CSA standard B335-15. Clients are invited to submit in-house policies to be included during the training session. 

Expert Trainers, Proven Results
Safety Guys Workplace Safety Trainers have a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals who specialize in forklift training. Our trainers follow industry best practices to deliver comprehensive and effective training that meets all regulatory standards.

​
Hands-On Practical Training
Our training programs include hands-on exercises and simulations to give your employees real-world experience in operating forklifts safely. This approach ensures better retention of knowledge and improves overall safety performance. Student receive 3.5 hours of theory training to help them first understand how a forklift works, how to identify hazards and operate safely. This is followed by our practical training session. Our instructors work closely with students to ensure they can demonstrate how to inspect the forklift, use controls, steer, brake, drive with control and lift loads safely.

Refresher Training Guidelines

Every three years :  CSA standard B335-15 Clause 6.21; 
​Or sooner than three years:
  • if changes occur in the workplace such as new processes, new equipment, or following an incident;
  • when hiring a new driver (even an experienced operator) to ensure they receive specific workplace training
  • if a lapse in operating hours has occurred and the driver no longer feels confident to safely use the forklift

Employer's Responsibilities 

Workplace Specific Training
While initial training will offer the basics of safe forklift operation, it does not allow for the practice that is necessary to become a truly efficient and confident operator. We recommend that you enforce a policy for new operators to complete a set amount of hours under the direct supervision of a supervisor or competent operator before they can be permitted to work alone.

These hours may vary based on age, ability, and a willingness to follow direction. To help guide you with this decision, our trainers can submit a follow-up report to you with our recommendations for each operator.
