Training for Busy Industrial Workplaces
Businesses at Cross Green may operate forklifts around warehouses, loading bays, production areas, delivery vehicles and pedestrian routes.
On-site training can reflect important workplace factors such as:
- Vehicle and pedestrian movement
- Loading and unloading areas
- Restricted visibility
- Warehouse racking
- Doorways and confined spaces
- External yards
- Workplace speed limits
- Normal loads and attachments
- Local parking and charging procedures
Operator training supports safer equipment use, but employers must also provide suitable workplace controls, supervision and traffic management.
Counterbalance Forklift Training
Counterbalance forklifts are commonly used to unload vehicles, move materials and support warehouse or production operations.
Training normally covers:
- Pre-use inspections
- Controls and instruments
- Steering and manoeuvring
- Load assessment and stability
- Stacking and de-stacking
- Loading and unloading procedures
- Pedestrian awareness
- Safe parking and securing
Courses are available for novice, experienced, conversion and refresher operators.

Preparing Your Site for Training
Your business will normally need to provide:
- Safe and serviceable equipment
- Manufacturer operating instructions
- A controlled practical training area
- Representative pallets or loads
- Relevant attachments
- Appropriate personal protective equipment
Normal workplace operations may need to be separated from the training area while practical exercises and assessments are underway.
Assessment and Employer Authorisation
Courses include appropriate theory, practical instruction and operator assessment.
Successful operators receive evidence of training for the equipment category assessed. Employers remain responsible for job-specific instruction, workplace familiarisation and authorisation.
