1. Scope

This Guideline covers the requirements associated with the purchasing and hire, work areas, operation, refuelling, inspection and maintenance of forklifts. It also includes requirements related to the types of forklifts to be used in specific circumstances (e.g. indoors, in hazardous areas, etc.). For requirements related to autogas, refer WHSE Guideline WHSE-CG-024.

2. Objectives

To ensure that all forklifts are of the correct type for the work to be done, that they are all maintained in good working order and that all legislative requirements are met.

3. Definitions

Forklift truck (as defined in the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011) 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. Order-picking forklift truck (as defined in the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011) A forklift truck where the operator’s controls are incorporated with the lifting media and elevate with the lifting media.

4. Issues to be Addressed

Please Note This section of the WHSE Guideline needs to be expanded and further developed by users into a full operational procedure. This is done by incorporating details to reflect your company’s structure, work process and local circumstances; legislative and other requirements; and technical details from publications and guidance notes. Assistance with developing procedures is available from Management Systems Australia. The major issues addressed in this guideline are as follows:

4.1. Purchasing and Hire
