FACE TO FACE DELIVERY OVERVIEW

Australian health and safety legislation requires employers to verify that their employees possess the necessary skills and qualifications for safe operation, rather than assuming competence.

Our Forklift Licence Verification of Competency (VOC) assessment is designed to confirm that an operator’s skills align with the machinery and tasks they will be performing in the workplace. This assessment is commonly utilised for pre-employment checks and to meet project-specific requirements.

Our VOC assessments are conducted in accordance with Nationally Recognised Units of Competency, relevant Codes of Practice, Standards, Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) guidelines, WHS legislation, and your company’s procedures. These evaluations ensure that operators meet both industry and site-specific standards.

This VOC assessment is intended for individuals who hold a current Forklift High Risk Licence and need to have their competency verified to meet project or employer requirements. 

If you’ve never held a high-risk licence or it has expired, you’ll need to undertake our Forklift high-risk work licence course.

THIS COURSE IS IDEAL FOR

  • Experienced forklift operators seeking to verify their competency
  • Operators requiring evidence of competency for employment or regulatory compliance
  • Workers returning to forklift operations after a period of absence
icon Approximately 1-2 hours
