Telehandler Use & Controls – Toolbox Talk

Telehandlers offer reach and flexibility, but also serious risk. This Telehandler Use & Controls Toolbox Talk equips your crew to prevent tip-overs, dropped loads, and crushing injuries caused by poor ground conditions, unfamiliar controls, or overloaded booms. It reinforces operator responsibility, control awareness, and safe use of stabilizers, spotters, and boom settings.

Ideal for construction, energy, maintenance, and logistics crews using rough-terrain or telescopic forklifts.

What’s Included:

3-page Toolbox Talk Kit:

1-page Topic Overview – covers tip-over risks, load charts, ground hazards, and control checks
1-page Supervisor Guide – includes load chart demo ideas, safety questions, and visual tools
1-page Printable Sign-In Sheet – audit-ready for COR/SECOR, ISNetworld, and OH&S compliance

Why It’s Different:

This talk shifts focus from machine power to operator control:

Self-checks like: “Have I reviewed the load chart today?” or “Am I on stable ground?”
Demo prompts: show extended boom instability, pre-use inspection walkthroughs
Crew engagement: “What do we do when we lose sight of the load path?”
Reinforces that familiarity does not replace daily inspection or planning

Perfect For:

Operators using telescopic forklifts or rough-terrain lifts
Maintenance and construction crews handling elevation or reach lifts
New worker training, operator refreshers, or seasonal lift program reviews
Safety programs aligned with CSA B335, OH&S, and COR/SECOR requirements
