FAQs and Notes

The training is designed to align with CSA B335 standards for powered industrial truck operator training and safe operation practices.

No. A standard driver’s licence is not required to operate a forklift. However, workers must receive proper forklift operator training and demonstrate competency before operating the equipment.

While Ontario legislation does not specify a fixed expiry date, refresher training is commonly recommended every 3 years to help maintain operator competency and reinforce safe operating practices.
