Refresher Course (Licensed Forklift Operator)

Course Description:

This course is highly recommended for all Australian licensed forklift drivers to complete on an annual basis. All Occupational Health and Safety managers should ensure that each forklift driver undertakes a refresher course regularly. It is unfortunate to note that there have been many accidents in Queensland over the past few years as many drivers pick up bad habits in the workplace or forget important safety information, or haven't even had the correct training in the first place. 

The course we offer is designed to update the operator in all aspects of forklift operation, practice theory and legislation. 

A duration of approximately 4 hours is needed for this course.

 Course structure:

  • Introductions
  • Review of Workplace Health and Safety
  • Forklift safety - incl. DVD 'How not to operate' The Dangers of Not Operating Forklifts Safely
  • Review of Forklift operator safe work practices do's and don'ts
  • Theory and practical skills test

Course Times:

Please call to arrange a time to suit.

What to Bring:

  • Your Australian Forklift Licence
  • Enclosed shoes (no thongs or sandals)

On Completion:

All students will receive a Certificate of Completion as they will be updated on all the current elements associated with the OHSCER207A Operate a Forklift Truck (as a part of the 30496 QLD Course in Loadshifting).  

Price: $150.00 per person
