Description
Each year, operators are unnecessarily injured
or even killed because they were not trained, or were careless in
the performance of their jobs. Remember, the more employees who
know about the operation of your truck, the safer your job site
will be.
At Capital Safety Training, we provide the
materials and personnel to help train those who drive these trucks.
We offer a complete Operator Safety Program
that will:

 |
help optimize employee/lift
truck performance |

|
assist employers in fulfilling their
obligation required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act. |
