Training Overview
Our telehandler (Class 7 lift truck) training course provides the specialized knowledge and hands-on experience you need to operate these versatile machines safely and efficiently.
Why is telehandler certification required?
In Ontario, the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) mandates that operators of telehandlers and other lifting devices must be deemed competent by their employers before using the equipment. This requirement aligns with O. Reg. 213/91, Section 102 (Construction Projects), and O. Reg. 851, Section 51 (Industrial Establishments).
What’s Included?
Our comprehensive course is divided into two key components:
- Theory: Complete this portion online or in person, allowing flexibility to match your schedule and preferences.
- Practice: Engage in hands-on training and practical evaluation at your workplace or our training facility.
Upon completing the course, you’ll gain:
- Expert-led instruction and a tailored knowledge evaluation specific to telehandler operation.
- Hands-on training with practical skills assessment.
- Certification that meets OHSA regulations and industry standards
