Forklift Licences

Corrsafe are the go-to experts in OH&S quality, training, testing and care in Queensland areas such as Airlie Beach and Bowen. We help workers obtain licences for forklifts and other heavy machinery through our nationally recognised courses. Our team of professionals are all fully qualified and offer only the best standard of training with high attention to detail and technical accuracy.

THE VALUE OF HAVING A FORKLIFT LICENCE

Forklifts are a useful tool in moving and storing heavy materials efficiently, but they can also cause damage to people and products when operated incorrectly. It is important that these powerful machines are only ever operated by certified individuals to minimise accidents and injuries, as well as reduce financial losses from damaged stock.

If you’re interested in more of our occupational health and safety services, Corrsafe also offers first aid courses, drug and alcohol testing, and white card training.
