Details

Every movement matters. Whether it’s lifting, stacking, or operating equipment, the way we handle materials shapes how safe, strong, and productive our workplaces become.

This course blends the essentials of Manual Material Handling (MMH) with hands-on training for order pickers, walkie stackers, and powered pallet jacks.
Through real-world practice and clear instruction, participants learn how to move materials safely, prevent strain injuries, and operate powered equipment with confidence.
Training follows Ontario’s OHSA, CSA B335-15, and industry best practices — ensuring you leave not only certified, but capable.

The final length of the course will ultimately depend on the number of students, their experience levels and class participation during discussions and practical training. Recertification every three years is recommended; recertification takes approximately 2 hours.

Contact us for pricing and scheduling, or to discuss bundle options that combine Manual Material Handling with powered equipment training such as order pickers, walkie stackers, and pallet jacks.

On-site training allows Safety Guys to tailor each session to your workplace. Clients are encouraged to share their in-house policies and procedures so we can integrate them directly into the training.
