The Forklift Risks and Hazards DVD/CD is mapped to TLID1007C Operate a forklift, from the TLI07 Transport and Logistics Training Package.
This is a core and elective unit in a number of qualifications at AQF levels II-III:
- TLI20107 Certificate II in Transport and Logistics (Warehousing and Storage)
- TLI20207 Certificate II in Transport and Logistics (Road Transport)
- TLI20307 Certificate II in Transport and Logistics (Stevedoring)
- TLI20407 Certificate II in Transport and Logistics (Rail Operations)
- TLI20707 Certificate II in Transport and Logistics (Rail Infrastructure)
- TLI30107 Certificate III in Transport and Logistics (Warehousing and Storage)
- TLI30207 Certificate III in Transport and Logistics (Road Transport)
- TLI30307 Certificate III in Transport and Logistics (Stevedoring)
- TLI30407 Certificate III in Transport and Logistics (Rail Operations)
- TLI30707 Certificate III in Transport and Logistics (Rail Infrastructure).
As the resource focuses on safety and risk management issues, it also covers some aspects of the unit TDTF07C: Follow OHS procedures.
Also, given the wide use of forklifts across a number of industries, it is likely that the resource will have applicability to units dealing with forklift operations in other training packages.
