COURSE OVERVIEW
Prepare employees for their forklift certification today!
In Forklift Simulator, users will learn to drive a forklift in VR. Learners prepare themselves for a forklift certification exam. A certificate indicates that they have been trained and evaluated to operate a forklift safely. OSHA requires that employees who regularly operate forklift machinery be certified to do so and tailored to meet OSHA safety standards.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Participants will learn how to:
- Conduct Structural Pre-Checks: Perform mandatory pre-operational and operational safety checklists, auditing fluid levels, tire wear, mast chains, and hydraulic controls.
