Forklift Course

Companies need to have proof that all forklift operators are trained and competent to drive the type of forklift they are using in order to meet their Health and Safety at Work Act obligations.

Failure to do this can result in fines for the person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU). This is why it is important for individuals to have this when looking for a forklift driving job.

An F Endorsement on your drivers licence is NOT proof of competency and you need to have a current Worksite Forklift Licence to prove competency and meet Health and Safety Act at Work obligations.

We cover the variety of forklifts you driver under the experienced operators forklift licence if they are on the same site and the assessment is done at the one time.

For example if you drive a Reach, Counterbalance and Order Picker all 3 will be assessed and show on your licence if when you display successful competency without needing practical training.

Do you drive the forklift where the public are

You will need an F Endorsement

To do this you need to hold a Full New Zealand Drivers Licence and a New Zealand Worksite Forklift Licence showing competency (the forklift worksite licence can be done on the same day as this training)

If you can stack and destack and operate the forklift without practical tuition, even if you haven't held an official forklift licence previously, you will be able to sit our half day "Experienced Operators" course instead of a full day "Beginners Course"
