COURSE OVERVIEW

 

Forklifts are a critical element of warehouses and distribution centers. It’s imperative that these structures be designed to accommodate their efficient and safe movement. In the case of Drive-In/Drive-Thru Racking, a forklift needs to travel inside a storage bay that is multiple pallet positions deep to place or retrieve a pallet. Often, forklift drivers are guided into the bay through guide rails on the floor and the pallet is placed on cantilevered arms or rails. 

 

This course is designed to provide delegates with detailed and up-to-date overview and proper techniques of forklift operations. It teaches participants how to identify specific health and safety hazards in the workplace associated with operating a powered industrialized lift truck. The course covers the legal aspects of forklift operations including the types of forklift trunk. 

 

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to employ the forklift daily inspection procedures; recognize the stability of the forklift; observe the safety rules; operate and drive forklift safely and efficiently; follow the guidelines in working safely while operating forklifts; and identify the workplace design.
