Why Forklift Training from a recognized Forklift Training Centre is important?

Forklift training certification and re-certification has been made mandatory by OHSA for a reason.

Every year, many accidents and injuries are reported at worksite and these incidents mostly arise due to improper knowledge of safety procedures associated with operating a forklift. Such mishaps not only cause harm to forklift operators and those working around them but company also suffers due to work days loss. This ultimately leads to delays and affects overall productivity of company.

OHSA has mandated in its guidelines pertaining to powered truck operators which state that forklift operators must have obtained individual certification in Forklift Training from a recognized source such as CN Forklift Training Centre in Toronto, prior to start operating a forklift.


Forklift training courses generally include theory and practical sessions, the duration may vary according to the training centre you choose. Topics covered in theory and practical components of training include:

•     Legislation pertaining to operation of forklifts and other powered pallet trucks.
•     Mechanism of working of forklift, their hydraulic lifting mechanism.
