Refresher Course / Operator Re-certification
According to the Ontario government regulations, trained forklift operators are required to complete re-certification every 2-3 years to maintain their qualification with mid-term evaluation after 18 months since the original certification. Re-training is also required in the event of the following:
- Accident / near-accident
- An observation is made where the forklift is used in an unsafe way
- An assessment indicates that extra training is required
- Operators are upgraded to newer or different models/types
- After passing three years since the initial certification
- Changes in the workplace presenting new hazards
