Top Facts About Licence to Operate a forklift Truck in Canberra ACT
Warehouse workers are often required to operate heavy machinery every day. Warehouse workers rely on a forklift truck to help them get their work done. It can be dangerous and very important. The Australian Capital Territory (ACT), requires that anyone operating or controlling a forklift truck on public land must have the proper licence. Otherwise, they could face penalties and fines.
Anyone who works with a forklift has to be aware of the dangers and risks involved. This course is designed to teach you about the risks involved and how to stay safe. This course will also help you obtain your forklift license.
