In
recent years the Ministry of Labour has implemented more stringent regulations
and safety requirements relating to forklift training and operation. Many
companies are recognizing the significance of safety programs and appropriate
training for their forklift operators.
The Lucas Liftruck Forklift Operator Safety Awareness
training courses are facilitated by certified trainers with over 20 years of
experience. They strive to make each course an interactive experience for both
new and experienced operators, drawing from experience to encourage open
discussion.
Forklifts are heavy pieces of equipment with many particulars in
operating them safely; they should be treated with respect by the operator, and
all others coming in close proximity.
If
driven by an untrained operator or in an unsafe manner a lift truck can cause
extensive damage to buildings, racking, cargo, or worst of all - can cause
injury or death to operators or other workers.
Forklift safety applies to ALL lift trucks from manual pallet operators to electric pallet trucks, stacker trucks, order pickers, reach trucks, counter-balance trucks, electric forklifts and heavy-duty forklifts. If you operate a lifting device, you need to understand the safety aspects, for your own safety, the safety of others and your company's peace of mind.
