Why Tugger Training is Important for Businesses

Tuggers are widely used in material handling operations to move heavy loads efficiently. Without proper training, operators risk:
✔️ Collisions with workers and equipment
✔️ Load instability, leading to spills and damage
✔️ Injuries due to improper handling techniques

By ensuring employees are properly trained and certified, businesses can improve workplace efficiency, reduce costly accidents, and protect their workforce.

Why Tugger Training is Required for Compliance

In Ontario, Canada, the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) mandates that all powered material handling equipment operators be trained and competent. Employers must provide proper training and recertification every 3 years to remain compliant with industry standards and provincial safety regulations.

How Tugger Training Enhances Worksite Safety

Proper training equips operators with the knowledge and skills needed to:
Operate tuggers safely and efficiently
Recognize and avoid common workplace hazards
Follow proper load-handling techniques
Perform pre-use inspections to identify mechanical issues

This reduces workplace injuries, minimizes downtime due to accidents, and helps businesses maintain a culture of safety.
