The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) each have a standard that outlines many guidelines and recommendations regarding forklifts. Among these are very specific requirements regarding forklift operator training.
Our Telehandler Online Certification Training for Canadian Operators has been carefully designed to meet and even exceed the training requirements outlined in each standard.
Because employers are required to comply with the CSA standard in Canada, training and certifications that have been aligned with it will be seen as more valuable than those that have not been.
Practical Training Component
It’s important to note that in order to completely satisfy the requirements of the standards, workplace, and equipment-specific training must be completed by the employer, along with a practical evaluation. These workplace training components cannot be completed by any third-party provider whether they offer online or live training. The reason for this is that each workplace is different and poses unique hazards. An employer is best suited to train workers on these unique circumstances that exist within their workplace and their specific equipment.
