MHE Evaluator: High-Lift Forklift Equipment

New Training Programs & Versions for 2022!!!

MHE Evaluator: High-Lift Forklift Equipment

MHE Evaluator...  this is not a full Forklift Train-The-Trainer program, this would work in conjunction with my LMS Forklift Program.  Trainees would take the full Forklift Theory online, and then you could have your own in-house Practical Evaluator!  


This course is the first of what will become a series of courses to train people to become Forklift Practical Evaluators, for numerous classes of Forklifts...


This course is only available in-person, there is both a Theoretical & Practical component.  This may also be a good program from someone to take to work-towards a full Train-The-Trainer program...


This course is 1-1.5 days for 1 or 2 people.  Trainees must be currently Certified Forklift operators, have current WHMIS training & current TDG training: if TDG applies to your workplace...


Please contact me directly for more info & pricing...  #thesafetycat

Changes to TDG Legislation / Training

New Training Programs & Versions for 2022!!!

MHE Evaluator: High-Lift Forklift Equipment

Hey there all you Cats!!!  Following-up on my post about changes to TDG Training/Legislation...  The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) has released CAN/CGSB-192.3-2020: TDG Training, Assessment & Competency Training Standard.  Within this standard you will find that there will be a requirement for the Employer to create a Task List, define the specific tasks that relate to TDG, and then ensure competency & compliance through a series of "practical evaluations/demonstrations" related to each task for each Employee involved in TDG...  


This is a large change to TDG! 


I can help you in 2 ways: 

1) I can deliver the theory/awareness training AND oversee the practical evaluations after you have created the job-specific task-list (I can help with the list too)... or

2) I can deliver the theory/awareness training, provide you with a guidance-document to conduct the practical evaluations, and then come and perform a summary-audit of your practical compliance efforts, to determine if you have met compliance requirements...


From the info I can find, the expectation for this to be in-place is Q#2 or Q#3, 2023...


Please contact me directly and we can discuss how I can hep...  Have a Safe Day!!!  #thesafetycat

Why Have Safety?

The Safety Cat 
TSC 
Patrick Lipscombe

Why have a Safe Workplace?

Well beyond the Federal & Provincial Legislative requirements, beyond the financial benefits of having a safe workplace with fewer injuries & therefore fewer claims, beyond creating a "competent" & compliant workforce that chooses to do a good job, a safe job, willingly and voluntarily...we have a responsibility to protect people / help them protect themselves, and we should be deeply interested in improving peoples qualifications & skills to make them the best & most valuable they can be.  This is good workplace safety!!!

Safety Quotes


Safety is NOT something you can take or leave alone...  It is NOT an activity in which one participates only when one is being watched or Supervised...  Safety is NOT posters, slogans, or rules, nor is it movies, meetings, investigations or inspections...  Safety IS an attitude & a frame of mind...  It is the awareness of ones environment and actions, all day, every day...  Safety IS knowing what is going on; knowing what can injure anyone or anything; knowing how to prevent that injury and then acting to prevent it...  To do this does not require genius, a Ph.D., or even a title or rank...  All it requires is intelligence and a reasonable amount of native ability to see, to hear, to smell and to think...  To ignore safety practices does not indicate bravery, only foolishness...  To do things safely and correctly is the mark of a wise person, not a timid one...

Being quarantined may not be a bad thing!  Think of the privacy you may have, the undisturbed focus, the "personal comforts" and of-course, the safety!

Social Distancing, what is it?

Here's some basic info about Social Distancing


You should try not to see Social Distancing as a loss-of-contact.  You can still engage with as many people as you did before, just in different ways.  There are other cultures where "touching" people; particularly in business, is not automatic or common, and that comfort must be earned
