Course Summary
Lift Trucks and mobile equipment accidents are preventable and unacceptable. Their widespread use requires that individuals working on, and around, lift trucks recognize hazards associated with the equipment and the environment in which lift trucks are operated.
In order to receive a certificate of competency, the participant must achieve a passing grade on the test, and he/she must pass the practical skills evaluation. The practical skills evaluation is to be performed at the worker’s place of employment.
