Low lift pallet truck operator training (includes motorized reach truck, stacker, and walkie type lifting devices)
All too often the concept of practicing due diligence is overlooked with regards to low lift pallet trucks. The Occupational Health And Safety Act clearly outlines the responsibilities of both the employer and the employee with regards to lifting devices. Fines of up to $500,000.00 can be imposed by the Ministry Of Labour should one of your employees be involved in an accident while operating a lifting device. The most recent fines imposed by the Ministry Of Labour can be found at osg.on.ca.
The Low lift pallet truck operator training course is a 3 hour course. Included in the cost is the participant's manual, knowledge verification for your records, a practical evaluation, and a wallet card.
Remember that employers have a legal responsibility to train their staff
