Forklift Operator Cert.  (OSH) / Unit Standard 10851 full course + F Endorsement (NZTA) Unit Standard 18496

Course Aim

Forklift courses aim to:

  • Produce operators who can operate forklifts in a safe, efficient and legal manner

  • Ensure that through having their operators formally trained, the employer complies with WorkSafe NZ Health & Safety (OSH) requirements for the workplace and NZ Transport Agency requirements.

​

Note:

  • An "F" Driver Licence Endorsement is required for any person who is required to drive a forklift on a road.

  • The definition of a "road" includes a place where the public have access whether of right or not.

  • On achieving unit standard 18496 the operator receives a NZ Transport Agency Certificate which should be presented to a Driver Licensing Agency preferably within 60 days for endorsement of his/her licence (Fees apply)

  • This endorsement does not cover the operation of forklifts in the workplace.
