Electric Pallet Truck Safety Training
Our Electric Pallet Truck safety course is an OHSA based program that teaches pre-operation machine inspection, safe operation requirements, proper load handling, operating and moving the machine and hazard avoidance.
The practical evaluation of the operator training course requires operators to demonstrate a competency skill level equal or greater to the industry accepted measurements.
We also offer our Train the Trainer courses for Electric Pallet Truck. This program is suitable for new and existing operators. Participants with little or no practical operating experience will require practical operator training prior to practical testing.
