PROGRAM OVERVIEW 
The Safe-Tech Lift Truck / Forklift Operator Training Program consists of a full-day classroom theory session presented in an interactive format which covers all aspects of lift truck safety and operation. An on-site individual practical operating test will follow where incorrect operating techniques are identified and corrected and the pre-shift inspection procedures are also reviewed. New operators with limited or no operating experience will require practical training prior to the practical operating test. This program will provide the participant with the necessary knowledge to safely and correctly operate your specific class of lift truck(s) and attachments.
Safe-Tech programs meet or exceed the CSA Standard, B335-04 and the Ontario Ministry of Labour’s “Guideline for the Safe Operation and Maintenance of Powered Lift Trucks”.
