Forklift Course & High-Risk Licence

Licence to operate a forklift truck + Worksafe High-Risk Licence

The Equip-Safe Forklift training course (high risk) is a nationally recognised course that will provide you with the knowledge and skills  you will need to operate a forklift truck and attain your WorkSafe high risk work licence.

Equip-Safe will send your application to WorkSafe.  An Interim HRWL will be issued upon successful completion of this forklift training course, which will allow you to operate a forklift truck from that date. Your forklift licence will be recognised in Perth and across Australia.

At Equip-Safe our trainers believe robust theory supports their practical hands-on approach knowing that many learn by ‘doing’. We use two forklifts during training and cap numbers ensuring sufficient operating time for all.

Courses are scheduled weekly at Equip-Safe’s training venue on the corner of Orrong Road  and Kewdale Road  in Welshpool, Perth. Training courses can also be conducted on a client’s site, please contact Equip-Safe for on-site quote.
