Forklift safety for employers

April 13, 2022April 13, 2022 | Posted by Martin's Forklift | Posted in Forklift Hazards and Accidents, Forklift Operator Safety, Forklift Supervisor

WorkSafeBC have a handy checklist available for employers that highlights some of the key issues for forklift safety in the workplace. We encourage our clients to take a look. https://www.worksafebc.com/en/resources/health-safety/information-sheets/employer-responsibilities-lift-truck-safety?lang=en

Forklift training Spring 2022

February 22, 2022February 22, 2022 | Posted by Martin's Forklift | Posted in Forklift Operator Safety, Forklift Pedestrian Safety, General Warehouse Safety

Why do we need recertification training to drive a forklift? Humans forget and become complacent. That’s why refresher training for forklift operators is a must. We are now booking our Spring schedule for on-site training from Nanaimo to Campbell River.

Next step – forklift training

Even experienced operators need refresher training. A three point mount or dismount is a good start, but what should the next step be for this operator once he is seated? Book your Spring 2022 recertification training now – on site Nanaimo to Campbell River.

Forklift safety in winter

Plan ahead for winter forklift operation – take into account that rain, snow and wind affect traction, load stability and visibility. Take care!

Martin's Forklift was punctual, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our small business's needs as far as scheduling. A very clear instructor; it was an enriching experience for all of our trainees. We look forward to seeing Martin's in 2 years time, for our renewals.
