EDB Training Services Adherence to Queensland’s Forklift Licensing Requirements

Forklift operators in Queensland must obtain a valid High Risk Work Licence (LF class) because this work type falls under the high-risk category according to the state's Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011. Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) issues this licence under the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011.

Belmont's Strong Advantage To The Forklift Job Market

Belmont serves as a central location for industrial activities because it borders major industrial regions such as Capalaba, Tingalpa, Hemmant, and Murarrie. Many employers operating warehouses and logistics centers and freight services and construction sites and food manufacturing facilities in these areas actively seek forklift operators who hold valid licences.

Acquiring a forklift licence creates a competitive hiring advantage for people seeking employment in these industrial sectors. Your training demonstrates both safety awareness and instant work readiness which makes you an attractive candidate to potential employers. The qualification provides you with competitive advantages when seeking both permanent and temporary job openings.

Our trainers provide training for all levels of learners from new operators to those who require a review or re-certification. If you’re feeling nervous or unsure, don’t worry. We will make sure you understand the material and are fully prepared for your assessment and feel confident behind the controls.
