Forklift Operator Safety Training

Our Forklift Operator Safety Training program provides both theoretical and practical training. It includes classroom instruction (theory) followed by a hands-on Competency Evaluation to reinforce the theory and specific skills required to safely and efficiently operate the equipment.

The second part of the program consists of our Trainer going to your worksite and evaluating your competency level while operating the Forklift(s) required for your job. This is the practical portion of the program.
