Why do you need WHMIS TRAINING?

What is WHMIS? WHMIS refers to the Workplace Hazardous Materials data system and is Canada’s national workplace hazard communication standard for employee and workplace safety.

They are often the associates who ask the best questions when it comes to making sure they’re in compliance with forklift training standards. That’s why I wanted to take the time to provide three short reminders to operators and employers alike about training requirements. THE CERTIFICATION STANDARD FOR FORKLIFT TRAINING REQUIRES CLASSROOM AND PRACTICAL TRAINING. There are two required parts to forklift training: Classroom training can be completed online, with educators in the classroom, through video, or a combination of any of these. The intention here is to offer operators the knowledge they have about forklifts to successfully (and safely) operate them during a wo...
