Course Aims:

The course aims to allow forklift drivers to understand how to utilize a forklift and how to avoid accidents while using it by understanding its controls, how to operate it, how to take care of the engine and motor operation. One of the most important things to asses as well is the forklift’s vehicle capacity in terms of how high the forklift can go, how much weight the forklift is supposed to carry, and how the driver’s competency is critical to prevent accidents while using the forklift. Throughout the entire course, the trainer will be taught to stress on the importance of each technique to be done correctly, to teach the trainer how to engage with their respective audience or attendees and to stress on practical implication of these techniques, and how to make sure every attendant is keen on how to use a forklift properly.
