Safety Training

Forklift & Material Handling Training

Forklift & Material Handling Training bridges the gap between basic operation and advanced safety awareness. Participants learn stability principles, load management, and pedestrian safety to handle logistics operations efficiently and safely.

Aim

To promote safe driving habits, load handling, and pedestrian awareness in logistics environments.

Scope of Training

Forklift anatomy and types of powered industrial trucks

Pre-operation daily inspection checks

Stability triangle and center of gravity

Safe load handling, lifting, and stacking

Ramps, inclines, and uneven surfaces

Pedestrian safety and blind spots

Battery charging and refueling hazards

Parking and shut-down procedures

Manual handling principles (kinetics of lifting)

Ergonomics in material handling

Key Learning Outcomes

Understanding of forklift physics and stability
Proficiency in conducting thorough pre-use checks
Competence in safe load maneuvering
Heightened awareness of pedestrian interactions
Improved personal manual lifting techniques

Key Benefits

Reduction in tip-over and collision accidents

Decreased product and facility damage

Lower incidence of musculoskeletal injuries

Enhanced warehouse operational flow
