Forklift Truck Operator Safety Training

The forklift safety class consists of blended classroom training (including virtual training) along with hands on instruction.  This class is designed for individuals needing to learn the skills needed for safely operating a forklift prior to becoming certified by their employer. The classroom portion covers the following topics:

Lift truck Fundamentals

Stability

Balance

Capacity

Pre-operational Inspection

General Rules of the Road

Safe Load Handling Techniques

Refueling Gasoline, Diesel and LP Lift Trucks

Battery Charging and Changing

There is a written exam at the end of the classroom session. The hands-on portion will involve pre-operational checks, followed by two circuits of the obstacle course without any major infractions.  A major infraction requires the trainee to complete the course a third time.  The hands-on portion will be done on a LP powered lift truck.
