Course Overview
Licence to Operate a Forklift Truck is part of our High Risk training delivery we provide as an individual unit. The Forklift is also known as a Lift Truck or Fork Truck. This is a good ticket for those looking to enter the construction, mining, or warehousing industries.
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to operate a forklift truck safely in accordance with all relevant legislative requirements. Forklift truck means a powered industrial truck equipped with lifting media made up of a mast and an elevating load carriage to which is attached a pair of fork arms or other attachments that can be raised 900 mm or more above the ground, but does not include a pedestrian-operated truck or a pallet truck.
A person performing this work is required to hold a forklift truck High Risk Work Licence (HRWL). Competence in this unit does not in itself result in a licence. A licence is obtained after competence is assessed under applicable Commonwealth, state or territory work health and safety (WHS) regulations.
This unit covers:
- Plan work/task
- Prepare for work/task
- Perform work/task
- Pack Up
Western Training provides training for operators of all skill levels. Our training is conducted at a specialised facility designed to simulate a live work site to ensure a seamless transition from a training environment to an active work site.
