Forklift Safety Awareness Course 2026

This course is for workers in Canada, including security guards on warehouse and yard patrols, who work around forklifts. It covers who may drive a forklift, daily checks, loads and stability, pedestrian safety, docks and battery charging. It is background knowledge only and is not forklift operator training: to drive a forklift you need the training, evaluation and authorization your province requires.
