Forklift and Lift Truck Safety & Operations Training

Our Forklift Training program prepares workers to properly handle and control lift trucks and forklifts in the workplace. Completing forklift training will help you perform adequate pre-operational checks, learn the CSA Standard B335-94, understand the stability triangle, and keep your employees safe. It is important to understand the health risks and hazards associated with forklift operation in order to prevent them from occurring.

The forklift training program offered by Auspice Safety inc. teaches pre-operation inspections , proper handling and operating, and safe load handling.
