Introduction:

Use of lifting devices within Ontario is regulated within the Occupational Health and Safety Act and it’s associated Regulations. A lifting device operator must be qualified as a Competent Person, as defined by the Act.

Our Lift Truck Operation training program is designed to not only assist clients with ensuring legal compliance, but to provide operators with the information and skills necessary to prevent accidents, reduce equipment damage and increase productivity.

Operators are given both a written test and a hands-on practical evaluation. This course will provide the attendee with a Lift Truck Certificate upon successful completion of both the theoretical and practical components of the program.
