Forklift safety awareness (AU)

Duration: 31 minutes

Overview: This course is a refresher on forklift safety awareness for anyone working in an environment where forklifts operate. It covers why forklifts are hazardous in shared workspaces, how to stay safe around exclusion zones and traffic controls, the load and stability risks that lead to tip-overs, and the common causes of serious incidents, along with your responsibilities as a worker or supervisor.

Why is this course important? Forklifts are involved in a disproportionate number of serious workplace injuries and fatalities in Australia, and most incidents trace back to ordinary, preventable gaps rather than dramatic equipment failures. This topic reinforces the habits and awareness that keep people safe around forklifts every shift, not just when conditions feel obviously risky.

Suitable for: Warehouse staff, production workers, and supervisors who already work in environments where forklifts operate. It doesn't cover forklift operation or licensing requirements.
