Safety comes first in Forklift Training 

 Forklift training requires a comprehensive  approach. We think it's just about teaching how to operate a forklift. But instead, forklift training is about teaching how to SAFELY operate a forklift. Both are two different concepts.

Safety definitely comes first while operating a forklift and it's important for the operator to safeguard himself/herself as well as the crew members working around.

Also, according to OSHA guidelines, any workplace requires safety training for employees.

CN Lift Safety, provider of comprehensive Forklift Training in Brampton, Mississauga, Toronto,lays emphasis on operator and pedestrian safety and stands by the following points that play a major role in ensuring the same. 

Pre operation forklift inspection

Pre-operation forklift inspection checklist varies from company to company but the basic fundamentals are the same, to check the equipment before mounting for any mechanical faults that may result in accidents. This has to be performed each time before gearing up for work. Usually it happens that two or more operators may operate a single forklift during different shifts of the same day. The first thing they do is to check the pre-inspection checklist of the previous operator. Hence it's a very important safety strategy. A lot can go wrong while a forklift lays idle. There can be problems with the brakes, reverse alarms, indicators etc. All this needs to be mentioned in the checklist. 

Forklift Refresher Training

Every year, new models of forklifts are introduced. With every new model, comes in new innovations, new technologies, and new methods to operate them. In that case, Forklift Refresher Training is imperative because not every operator works on all kinds of forklifts in a single training and also, the working hours of no two operators are the same. Some might have spend more time on their forklifts and some might have spend less. That's why, OSHA makes it compulsory for every operator to receive forklift refresher training every three years. It's an important safety guideline to keep operators in their toes and avoid any laxity in their job.

Maintenance of Forklift

Periodic forklift maintenance is also important as with time forklift loses its loading capacity and therefore is susceptible to accidents while operation. Regular forklift maintenance and replacement is therefore necessary and advisable for preventing workplace accidents.

CN Lift Safety provides complete forklift training with emphasis on each aspect, especially crew safety.
