No matter what industry you are in, oil, gas or construction, every business and organisation deals with workplace accidents and injury. Forklifts are a popular piece of equipment that allows workers move substantial loads with ease and speed.
Although they boast a number of safety features, Forklift trucks are powerful and hold the risk of accident and injury. Numerous studies have shown that extensive forklift training is crucial in reducing the number accidents at workplaces where forklifts are used.

The Forklift – Indispensable But Dangerous
For many companies on the Sunshine Coast, forklift operation is necessary to keep business processes active and moving.
Forklift operation should not be taken lightly. It takes skill, practice, and extreme caution. An unskilled driver’s erroneous judgment or negligence might be the difference between a successful lift and catastrophic accidents and damage.
The basic function of a forklift is the same, but each work environment will come with a unique set of hazards and circumstances that need to be successfully navigated. Adequate technical knowledge and hands on experience is crucial in ensuring optimal workplace health and safety, no matter the environment.
Forklift Training On The Sunshine Coast
Obtaining a forklift licence in Australia is different to other countries. Although the training process remains the same, the issuing authority is not. To obtain a Forklift ticket, trainees are required to enrol in a course offered by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
