What's in the Training?

Our safety training course is regulation-compliant, and our online version fulfills Canada’s classroom training requirement. Each class contains sections on weight, angles and stress, the center of gravity, sling hitches and types, and the hardware and lifting devices these workers can expect to work with.

This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical exam as required.

Though you will still need to familiarize yourself with all other applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial, and local standards, this training encompasses the following standards:

Canada Standards

  • CAN/CSA-B335-04—Safety Standards for Lift Trucks
  • CAN/CSA-B335 Lift—Truck Operator Training
  • CAN/CSA-B352.0-09—FOPS, ROPS
  • ANSI/ITSDF B56.1—Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks
  • ISO 5057:1993—Inspection, Repair of Fork Arms in Service on Forklift Trucks

Why Do I Need Training?

In line with regulations, anyone who works with or around heavy machinery must receive training prior to working on their own. While requirements for refresher training are very specific, most safety trainings don’t have such specific requirements. However it’s wise to follow the same guidelines.

When it comes to refresher training, Canada’s standard in some instances is very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.
