Forklift safety roadshow 2021

As part of our Working In and Around Vehicles programme, we're delivering a nationwide forklift safety roadshow to enable a better understanding of the risks associated with operating and working around forklifts on worksites.

The roadshow will focus on the safety of forklift operators, people working around forklift operations and the roles and responsibilities of PCBUs and will include:

Workshop 1: For forklift operators, site workers and site visitors/contractors. This workshop focuses on practical aspects of risk identification and risk management.
Workshop 2: For PCBUs, managers, and health and safety reps. This workshop focuses on legislation, duties under HSWA and what is reasonably practicable from a hierarchy of controls approach.

Events are free to attend and businesses will gain most from this roadshow if you have a representative in both workshops. Each workshop session includes a presentation, demonstration and either morning or afternoon tea.

Demonstrations: For all attendees there will be demonstrations of four proximity warning devices from SonaSafe, RearSense, Hit Not and SEEN Safety.
