Yes. To meet WorkSafe’s expectations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, two levels of training are required:
1. Operator Certificate (Basic Operating Skills):Forklift operators must meet the training standards outlined in the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP). This can be achieved by completing a forklift training course delivered by a Competenz-registered forklift trainer, followed by a refresher at least every three years. Equivalent training may also be accepted if it meets or exceeds the ACOP requirements.
2. Site-Specific Training: The PCBU (person conducting a business or undertaking) is responsible for ensuring the forklift operator is trained to use the forklift safely within the specific work environment. This includes addressing any site-specific risks.
Both types of training are required. Site-specific training is in addition to the Operator Certificate — it is not a substitute.
