Designed to help workplaces meet and exceed the CSA lift truck standard, WHSC also offers an 8-hour health and safety program for workers who operate powered lift trucks (Classes 1 to 5). The program includes formal classroom learning, as well as a supervised practical hands-on component with the specific lift truck the worker will use, and an evaluation by an authorized instructor who observes actual work performance. The WHSC offers a similar program for operators of rough terrain forklifts.
Further, the WHSC offers a three-hour forklift truck program designed to acquaint joint health and safety committees and other workplace representatives with forklift operation, selection and related legislation and standards.
