Program Duration: 1 day

Forklifts are, by common admission, the most commonly used lifting machines and also valuable tools that find application and use in a large number of productive activities, such as in industry, in all kinds of construction, in port facilities, in transportation, etc.

Forklift accidents are very common and for this reason it is necessary for operators and assistants to participate frequently in training programs that report good practices and instructions for the safe handling of forklifts.

The more hours of training, the fewer and more serious the related work accidents from the use of forklifts.

The main objective of the program is to familiarize participants with issues related to the risks that exist when using forklifts.

This training contributes to the reduction (qualitative and quantitative) of occupational accidents that occur in industry, as it:

  • Ensurement of knowledge and self – confidence to the worker – operator
  • Satisfaction of the requirements for safety technicians and foremen
  • Demonstration of practice of the employer’s effort to reduce occupational accidents
  • Continuous interest of safe work for technical staff
