Safety Training Guidelines

Did you know that all workers operating any kind of powered material handling equipment need to go through safety training that’s in compliance with CSA and OSHA/ANSI standards to get certified? To ensure that all learners are getting the most relevant information, Leavitt Machinery offers courses that meet CSA and OSHA/ANSI standards. Leavitt Machinery’s training courses allow workers to get certified as per the local regulations. Operators receiving training need to be physically and mentally fit to recognize potential hazards for safe operation. Training should be provided in a well-secured area to avoid machine traffic, pedestrians, and obstructions. Training courses must be delivered in an easy-to-understand and unbiased way for the trainees.

Our Safety Training Courses

The purpose of safety training is to ensure that the employees have the knowledge and training to remain safe on the job. The following key points will be covered in all of our training certification courses:

  • Identifying potential hazards that could be present at the job site.
  • Information on how to conduct safety checks before operating the equipment.
  • Safety measures for working with material handling equipment such as using PPE and a spotter wherever applicable.
  • General responsibilities of the operators such as following operator manual instructions.
  • Developing safe operation habits such as completing safety inspections before using the equipment and recording any issues that might need repair.
  • Fundamental knowledge of the machine that is unique to the equipment type.

Testimonials

"I was in need of booking multiple staff for Forklift Training and Kory Linden was extremely helpful. He informed me on in-class and on-site training as well as a wide variety of available dates. When juggling multiple people, my team enjoyed the hybrid style of learning which allowed them to do the theory on their own time and register for a class that best suited their individual schedules. We even had to re-schedule a class and Kory was able to accommodate with ease."

- Kate Lee

"We contracted Leavitt Machinery to do on-site Forklift Training and Overhead Crane Training for all our staff. Joanne Picher coordinated our 30+ staff flawlessly. Mike was our on-site instructor. Mike's instruction was top notch! His approach was methodical and informative for all levels of trainee. Look forward to re-certifying with Leavitt Machinery again!"

"I have been dealing with Leavitt Machinery for many, many years. I have found them to be very professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I have had a lot of great feedback from folks about their instructors and how knowledgeable, courteous and good they are at making people feel at ease, especially those new to the equipment they are learning on."

- Maureen Kaake

"My company signed me up for the fall protection course which, honestly, I thought would be super boring. But our instructor, Graham, was very knowledgeable, entertaining and I was actually very focused with the course the whole time. I learned a lot about fall protection! I would highly recommend everyone doing this course if you have the chance!"

- Lester Loresco

"Great training! Our company hired Leavitt Machinery for in-house training to use our warehouse SURT (Stand-Up Reach Forklift). Kory Linden was super helpful and was very responsive to emails and any questions I had. Setting up the course date was quick and easy and they had very good availability. Adam Brown, the instructor, arrived early to set up, was very attentive and clear with his instructions and training, everyone who took the course was very satisfied with the training material. Thanks again to Leavitt and their staff! We will definitely be using them again for all future training requirements."
