How on-site delivery works in Burlington

We bring the training to your Burlington premises. You supply a room and, where the course requires a practical evaluation, the equipment your team actually uses. That matters: an operator assessed on your own lift truck in your own aisles is a more meaningful competency record than one assessed on unfamiliar equipment elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver Forklift Operator training in Burlington?

Yes. Syon Safety delivers Forklift and Lift Truck Operator Training on-site at Burlington workplaces and throughout Halton Region. Sessions run 4 to 8 hours depending on class and prior experience and can be scheduled around your shift pattern.

Is a forklift licence required in Ontario?

Ontario does not issue a government forklift licence. The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires employers to ensure operators are competent, which is demonstrated through training and a documented practical evaluation.

How often does forklift certification need renewing?

Three years is the widely accepted industry standard for refresher training. Re-evaluation is also expected after an incident, a near miss, or a change of equipment class.

Can you train operators on our own forklifts?

Yes, and it is the preferred approach. Practical evaluation on your own equipment and in your own aisles produces a more meaningful competency assessment.
