Half-Day Training

Practical half-day certification program focused on operational safety, compliance confidence, and site-level risk control.

Program Overview

Forklifts are powerful, versatile industrial vehicles that are essential in warehouses, manufacturing plants, ports, and logistics facilities worldwide. However, they are also among the most dangerous pieces of equipment on any worksite. Tip-overs, pedestrian strikes, and falling loads injure and kill thousands of workers every year. ICLM's Forklift Safety and Operation Training is a certified, comprehensive program that develops safe, skilled, and compliant forklift operators.

International safety standards (including OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178) mandate that only trained and authorized personnel operate powered industrial trucks. Untrained operators are not only a safety hazard - they expose employers to significant legal liability and regulatory penalties. Proper training reduces forklift accidents, minimizes product and property damage, and improves operational efficiency.
