Forklift Operator Refresher

This refresher training is designed to ensure operators remain confident, competent, and up to date with current best practice for safe forklift operation in the workplace. It reinforces the knowledge and skills required to operate forklifts safely, efficiently, and in line with workplace and legislative requirements.

Through a combination of theory and practical review, participants will refresh their understanding of safe operating procedures, equipment handling, and hazard awareness. The course also provides an opportunity to address any knowledge gaps and reinforce safe decision-making in day-to-day operations.

This refresher is ideal for current forklift operators who need to update their skills, strengthen compliance knowledge, and maintain safe operating standards.
