FORKLIFT COURSES
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.
