Al S:

There is a definitive answer to your question on "Yield to Pedestrian" for the Province of Alberta, Canada. The current October 2003 Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code, Part 1, Definitions and General Application, (3), Adoption of Standards adopts without modification ASME B56.1-2000, Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks as part of the Alberta OHS Code. The Government of Alberta, Human Resources and Employment (AHRE) has determined by law that forklift operators will yield to pedestrians in the Province of Alberta, Canada.

The adoption of ASME B56.1- 2000, Safety Standards for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks as part of the Alberta OHS Code also imposes rather stringent forklift operator training and retraining requirements. Does the forklift operator training currently provided by your group, the Alberta Forklift Safety Council, meet the ASME B56.1- 2000, Safety Standards for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks forklift operator training requirements? What is the Alberta Forklift Safety Council? Is the Alberta Forklift Safety Council affiliated with the Alberta Safety Council?
