COURSE OUTLINE

 

 

 

 

 

A.

Entry Level

 

 

 Ideal for someone who wants to enter the work force as a forklift operator, Tri-County's entry-level course combines classroom theory with extensive hands-on training in an actual warehouse facility. To successfully complete the program, students will have to pass a series of comprehensive written and practical tests. Training content includes:

  • Fundamentals of powered lift trucks: components, factors affecting stability, load centres, rules and regulations
  • General operating procedures: circle check, start-up, shutdown, forward/reverse on level ground; operating around other people
  • Load handling: selection of loads, load pickup and placements, load security and integrity, loading and off-loading trailers
  • Operational maintenance: refuelling and recharging
  • Workplace safety: identifying potential hazards, environmental conditions affecting lift truck performance
  • Separate training on handling propane can be included in this course if requested

B.

Refresher Course

 

 

Our refresher course is geared to operators who have some experience on a lifting device, but need to "brush up" on their safety or general handling procedures. Course content varies according to participant's existing knowledge, and will most likely emphasize the hands-on training in our warehouse facility. Some of the topics that may be covered include:

  • Summary of basic rules and regulations
  • Overview of general operating procedures
  • In-depth, hands-on training of load handling, loading and off-loading trailers, workplace safety
  • A propane handling course can be part of the training if requested
