Now We’re Just Focusing on Our Training and Our Health and Safety is Taken Care of by Peninsula.

For Rajinder Singh, owner of Regal Forklift, building a successful business means helping people develop practical skills while ensuring workplace health and safety remains a priority.

Established in 2021, Regal Forklift provides material handling equipment training to newcomers and job seekers looking to build their skills and pursue opportunities in the warehouse industry. With training centres in Brampton and Mississauga, the business offers instruction on a range of equipment, including counterbalance, reach, walkie, stock picker and order picker forklifts.

Having worked in the industry for eight years before becoming an entrepreneur, Rajinder recognised the growing demand for skilled equipment operators and an opportunity to help people enter the workforce with practical, job-ready skills.

But as his business grew, so did the responsibilities that came with managing workplace health and safety requirements.

That’s where Peninsula Canada came in.

Running a specialist training business requires Rajinder to focus on delivering effective instruction, maintaining equipment and ensuring students have the opportunity to practise their skills.

Regal Forklift's flexible training schedules and access to a variety of forklift models help students learn at their own pace. The business also provides in-house training for warehouses looking to train their employees on-site.

Alongside these day-to-day responsibilities, Rajinder needed to stay on top of health and safety regulations, documentation and changing requirements.

Managing both sides of the business independently was challenging.

“It’s very hard to manage those challenges because you have to focus on your business and also focus on government rules and regulations and health and safety regulations,” Rajinder explains.

For a business owner whose expertise lies in equipment training, keeping up with the additional demands of health and safety took away valuable time from his core responsibilities.

Rajinder became aware of Peninsula Canada through its outreach and conversations with the team. After learning more about the services available, he recognised the value of having dedicated health and safety support behind his business.

Rajinder says with Peninsula Canada's support, he can focus more of his attention on training, while having access to guidance and resources to manage workplace safety.

“Now we are just focusing on our training, and our health and safety part is taken care of by Peninsula,” he says.

Access to support when questions arise has been particularly valuable. Rather than having to search independently for answers, Rajinder can contact his Peninsula Canada representative for guidance.

For him, clear communication and reliable advice make a real difference.

“If you call, they have the answer for you. That’s what I like,” he says.

Through Peninsula Canada's support and its smart workplace safety software, BrightSafe, Regal Forklift has access to health and safety resources, documentation and training materials that help it manage its responsibilities.

Rajinder highlights the convenience of accessing documentation and resources online, as well as the support available when onboarding new employees and arranging relevant training and certifications.

His team has also accessed training covering workplace violence and harassment, alongside health and safety awareness.

For Rajinder, the biggest benefit is knowing where to turn when he needs help.

“As a business entrepreneur, you need someone who, if you call and say, ‘I have this issue,’ has the answer. That’s the great thing,” he explains.

With access to ongoing advice and resources, Rajinder feels better supported in managing the responsibilities that come with running a growing business.

Rajinder believes business owners shouldn't have to navigate every requirement alone or spend valuable time searching for answers when they could be concentrating on their customers, employees and day-to-day operations.

His advice to other businesses who may be considering Peninsula Canada is straightforward:

“It’s good. As a business entrepreneur, you need someone to help you when you have an issue. You don’t have to look around somewhere else.”

Reflecting on his experience, Rajinder describes working with Peninsula Canada as a positive one. With access to health and safety guidance, online resources and responsive support, he feels better equipped to manage his responsibilities while continuing to grow Regal Forklift.

For a business built around helping others develop practical skills, having the right support behind the scenes helps Rajinder keep his focus where it matters most: delivering quality training and helping people prepare for new opportunities.
