The Forklift – Operator Training course is designed to provide the necessary knowledge and understanding needed to operate class 1, 4, or 5 forklifts. As an effort to improve safety performance and prevent injuries, this course will include a theory training portion as well as a hands-on portion. During theory training, participants will learn the specifications, rules, and operating procedures. A written test will take place at the end of the course and a passing score of 70% will be required to move on to the hands-on portion of the training. During this part of the course, participants will learn how to properly inspect, use, park, refuel, and operate the equipment. Lastly, a practical evaluation of operational skills will be performed to determine if trainees may qualify as an operator or if additional training will be needed.
