At Commercial Safety College, we understand the significant responsibility that comes with operating a forklift. That’s why our Forklift Operator program is meticulously designed to equip participants with the skills needed to become safe, responsible, and efficient operators. This program is ideal for individuals currently working in warehousing or those aspiring to enter this field, serving as a critical step towards achieving their career goals.
Spanning three days, or approximately 25 hours, the course offers a comprehensive overview that includes both theory and practical components. Participants will learn Safe Operating Procedures, engage in Pre-Operating Inspections, and become proficient in the Use of All Controls, all aimed at enhancing their maneuvering skills. The curriculum also covers Warehousing Procedures, Propane Tank Changes, Basic Hydraulics, and Preventative Maintenance, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
A significant emphasis is placed on “hands-on” learning, with the majority of the course conducted in a warehouse-type environment to simulate real-world scenarios. Upon successfully completing the program, students will receive a wallet card certification, signifying their competency as forklift operators and marking a key milestone in their professional development.
