Forklift Training School Kelowna - Reasons Why A Forklift Training School Can Really Help A Company And Its Employees - OSHA and CSA establish criteria for forklift safety training that meets existing regulations and standards. Anybody intending to utilize a forklift is required to successfully complete safety training before using whichever type of forklift. The accredited Forklift Operator Training Program is designed to offer individuals training with the information and practical skills to become a forklift operator.

There are forklift operation safety regulations which must be followed pertaining to pre-shift checks, and regulations for loading and lifting.

Prior to a shift starting, an inspection checklist should be carried out and given to the Instructor or Supervisor. If whichever maintenance problem is discovered, the machinery must not be operated until the issue is dealt with. To indicate the machine is out of service, the keys should be removed from the ignition and a warning tag placed in a visible place.

Loading safety rules comprise checking the rating capacity on the forklift nameplate and determining if the load weight falls within capacity. The forklift forks must be in the downward position when the forklift is starting up. Keep in mind that there is a loss of around one hundred pounds carrying capacity for every one inch further away from the carriage which the load is carried.

Lifting must begin with the driver moving to a stopped position approximately three inches from the load. The mast must then be leveled until it has reached a right angle with the load. Lift the forks to an inch under the slot on the pallet and drive forward. Then lift forks four inches. Tilt back the load to secure it for moving. Drive the lift backwards if the load obscures frontal vision. Check behind and honk to alert other staff. Do not allow forks to drag on the ground.
