Forklift Truck (LF) Order Picking Forklift Truck (LO)Elevating Work Platform (WP)
 In accordance with the WHS Act 2010 and WHS Regulations 2011, under Duty of Care, an employer must provide an employee with instruction, training and supervision. The operator must receive prior practical and theory (knowledge) training in accordance with the National Assessment criteria in order to pass assessment. Training books can be purchased from Forktalk . WorkCover’s knowledge questions and assessment information – an Assessment Instrument for each licence code – can be accessed from our website on www.forktalk.com.au. The High Risk Work (HRW) summative assessment for the licence is conducted by a WorkCover accredited Assessor from Forktalk at your site or ours. In order for assessment for certification to be conducted, suitable equipment is required (forklift or elevating work platform) together with an appropriate area to conduct the assessment. Operators must be over 18 years of age and provide 100 points of proof of identification, as per WorkCover NSW requirements, at the time of the assessment. Operators must also produce evidence of passing a formative assessment and either a LOG BOOK or ‘record of training’ which has been maintained over a reasonable amount of time as evidence of prior training under supervision of a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). The log book or record of training must be correctly filled out and must not be backdated. Log books can be obtained from Forktalk. Our assessment procedure will proceed as follows (unless otherwise arranged with the Assessor):The Assessor will have ALL applicants together in a training/conference room to sit the theory assessment (they can choose either written or verbal options). Please allow approximately one (1) hour for this. The Assessor will then send all operators back to continue their usual work and conduct the practical assessment for one person at a time. Please allow approximately 45 minutes per person/assessment for this. Should an operator NOT pass the assessment, they will have to wait 21 days before they can be reassessed and will have to pay another assessment fee. Fees for assessment at your site are from $250 per assessment based on quantities – i.e. 1-2 assessments; 3+ assessments, etc.
A Service Call-Out Fee is charged per non-assessments that are booked and do not take place Please note: WorkCover requires that both a formative and a summative assessment must be passed to gain the licence. Formative assessments are conducted toward the end of the training period and must be passed before sitting the final summative assessment. In order for a summative assessment for licensing to be conducted, operators must have passed the formative assessment, be over 18 years of age and provide 100 points of evidence of identity to the Assessor on the day of assessment as per WorkCover NSW requirements (see following page). Please be aware that on the day of assessment students may be here later than the estimated finishing time. A Statement of Attainment is provided by Forktalk for each participant on successful completion of the summative assessment and the WorkCover accredited Assessor will issue the applicant with two copies of a Notice of Satisfactory Assessment (NSA). The pink copy will be an interim certificate which is valid as a licence for up to sixty (60) days from the date of issue. The applicant must take the other paperwork issued by the Assessor, together with the required fee to an Australia Post Office for processing. WorkCover NSW will mail a credit-card sized photo licence to the applicant in due course.
INFORMATION from WORKCOVER NEW SOUTH WALES IDENTITY REQUIREMENTS (for High Risk Work [HRW] licenses, e.g. forklift)
