Licence is not necessarily evidence of competence. WHS legislation…… Part 4.5 High risk work
Work Health and Safety Act 2011 Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011
Think not about how much training will have cost you if your employee subsequently leaves……. Think about how much will it cost you if you do not train them - and they stay………….
Part 3.2 General workplace management Division 1 Information, training and instruction 39 Provision of information, training and instruction • This clause applies for the purposes of section 19 of the Act to a person conducting a business or undertaking. (2) The person must ensure that information, training and instruction provided to a worker is suitable and adequate having regard to: (a) the nature of the work carried out by the worker, and (b) the nature of the risks associated with the work at the time the information, training or instruction is provided, and (c) the control measures implemented. (3) The person must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the information, training and instruction provided under this clause is provided in a way that is readily understandable by any person to whom it is provided.
Proper use of plant and controls (1) The person with management or control of plant at a workplace must take all reasonable steps to ensure that plant is used only for the purpose for which it was designed, unless the person has determined that the proposed use does not increase the risk to health or safety. Maximum penalty: (a) in the case of an individual—$6,000, or (b) in the case of a body corporate—$30,000.
215. The person must ensure that the plant does not collide with pedestrians or other powered mobile plant. Maximum penalty: (a) in the case of an individual—$6,000, or (b) in the case of a body corporate—$30,000.
203 Management of risks to health and safety • A person with management or control of plant at a workplace must manage risks to health and safety associated with plant, in accordance with Part 3.1. Note. WHS Act—section 21 (see clause 9).
Types of training Required licences (HRW etc) Qualifications (Nationally Recognised Training). General training in specific competences.

WHS Act Def: • plant includes: • (a) any machinery, equipment, appliance, container, implement and tool, and • (b) any component of any of those things, and • (c) anything fitted or connected to any of those things.
Definition High Risk Work Licence - LF forklift truck, in Schedules 3 and 4, means a powered industrial truck equipped with lifting media made up of a mast and an elevating load carriage to which is attached a pair of fork arms or other arms that can be raised 900mm or more above the ground, but does not include a pedestrian-operated truck or a pallet truck.
Definition High Risk Work Licence - LO order-picking forklift truck, in Schedules 3 and 4, means a forklift truck where the operator's controls are incorporated with the lifting media and elevate with the lifting media.
Current Licence System • No ‘Log Book’ system. • Must be conducted by an RTO. • Formal training to the approved course (UoC) is required. • TLILIC2001A - Licence to operate a forklift • TLILIC2002A – Licence to operate an order picking forklift
Not even close! Does that cover every forklift type then?
Variables • Type • Brand • Specifications • Mast height • Capacity • Load handling attachments • Safety features • Control types
And then there is the peripheral skills and knowledge required! Most of these will fall into the ITEM 3 - General training in specific competences
Peripherals • Operator elevated equipment. • Emergency lowering options • Fall Arrest Equipment • Emergency Descent • Rescue procedure
Peripherals • Forklift Re-fueling safety. • LPG cylinder change • LPG cylinder refill • Fuel storage safety
Peripherals • Battery electric forklift. • Battery charging safety • Battery changing safety
Non – licence equipment Most can be delivered under various NRT UoC’s Pallet jacks Pallet movers Walkie Stackers Tow motors Low level order pickers Anything under the plant def!
Eliminate Substitute Engineering Administration Personal protective equipment Hierarchy of controls
Hierachy of Controls Remember that training is considered an administrative control. Should include assessment. Must be used in conjunction with a suite of higher level controls.
Contextualised delivery An RTO can encompass required site specific skills in training programmes. Benefit of having training conducted on-site.
Transport and Logistics Most Units of Competence are contained in TLI10 Training package.
Qualification Level: Certificate TLIPC110 Certificate I in Transport and Logistics (Pathways) TLI10410c - Certificate I in Transport and Logistics (Rail Operations) TLI11310 - Certificate I in Logistics TLI11210 - Certificate I in Warehousing Operations
Traffic Management Planning Anthony Keating Crown
Do we need a Traffic Management Plan? According to WorkSafe Victoria, Forklifts cause more workplace deaths and injuries than any other piece of equipment. More than half the people killed in forklift-related incidents in the last 10 years have been pedestrians. Even when forklifts are travelling at low speeds they can crush pedestrians causing serious injury.
Where to Start? There are numerous publications in each State and Territory designed to help businesses develop and implement effective Traffic Management Plans. NSW Forklift Safety – Reducing the Risks Guide - Traffic Management & Forklift Safety QLD Forklift Safety – Reducing the Risk COP – Traffic Management Construction 2008 Forklift safety case study: Making traffic management systems work.
Where to Start? There are numerous publications in each State and Territory designed to help businesses develop and implement effective Traffic Management Plans. VIC Forklift Safety – Reducing the Risks Forklifts - Developing a traffic management plan Guide - Traffic Management & Forklift Safety ACT, SA, NT, TAS, WA, Comcare Forklift Safety – Reducing the risks AS2359.2 (Draft) Operation Appendix A – Traffic Management Plans
Where to Start? ‘Forklift Safety – Reducing the Risks’ Has broken down the process of developing a Traffic Management Plan into 4 simple steps. SPOT THE HAZARD ASSESS THE RISK FIX THE PROBLEM EVALUATE RESULTS
Legal Considerations Before you commence your Traffic Management Plans you MUST consider the following when developing your plans. In each State and Territory employers are responsible for providing: • a safe work environment • safe systems of work • safe and well-maintained machinery • proper information, training and supervision.
Warehouse Design and Layout Principles of good design are most economically applied at the start of a project and are more costly to introduce retrospectively. There are four primary functions that your warehouse layout must accommodate: • Product storage • Inbound operations (including receiving and returns) • Outbound operations (including picking and staging) • Value-added processes
BARRICADES/BARRIERS/BOLLARDS Barriers/Barricades or bollards are designed to protect pedestrians, but also act to enforce the walkway – ie keep mobile equipment off and pedestrians within. Barriers should be provided along as much of a dedicated walkway as possible.
LAYOUT/LINE MARKING Clearly line mark pedestrian walkways, roadways and operating areas based on speed limits, stopping distances and efficient workflow. Minimise the cross flow of traffic, intersections and blind spots Clearly define areas where powered loadshifting equipment is used as ‘pedestrian exclusion zones’ and clearly exclude powered loadshifting equipment from pedestrian walkways/work areas Provide line marking for: - traffic flow markings - Loadshifting equipment parking - Driver designated safe areas - Car parking - Keep clear zones - Speed humps
