Forklift Safety Training

Forklift Safety Training for Operators and Supervisors

Forklifts are useful and dangerous: tip-overs, falling loads and pedestrians being hit are common accidents in warehouses and factories. This training teaches operators to check, drive and load forklifts safely, and teaches supervisors how to keep people and forklifts apart.

Most forklift accidents are predictable

Speeding, carrying loads too high, reversing without looking and people walking in forklift lanes cause most forklift accidents. The training combines classroom sessions with a practical walk-through of your warehouse or plant, so operators and supervisors see the risks in their own space.

Pair it with material handling safety training and consider traffic safety products such as barriers and corner guards for forklift areas.
