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 (eg. indoors, in hazardous areas, etc).

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 ES&H 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

The work which needs to be carried out, including potential loads;

The selection of suitable forklifts and attachments;

The available controls and whether they are suitable for the intended tasks;

The maintenance requirements;

The area where a forklift needs to operate (eg. hazardous areas, etc.).

Purchasing and specifications shall include the safety features required for the forklift. This shall include, as applicable:




Warning devices such as forward and reversing beepers, lights, rotary flashing lights, air horns, etc);

FOPS (Falling Objects Protective Structure);

Seat Belt;

Such personnel shall also hold the appropriate certificate of competency in accordance with the National Guidelines for Occupational Health and Safety Competency Standards for the Operation of Loads-shifting Equipment and Other Types of Specified Equipment (refer Section 8 of this ES&H Guideline). In addition, where required by the authority (e.g. in WA), forklift operators shall hold an appropriate National Licence, in accordance with the requirements of the National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work.

Forklift operators shall undergo a health assessment (refer ES&H Guideline ESH-081).

4.3. Daily and Pre-operation Inspections

Work instructions shall be prepared and issued for the daily and pre-operation inspection of forklifts. This shall include at least:

Inspection of carriage and fork and lifting assembly, hydraulic system for possible leaks, engine for fuel or oil leaks, tyres, overhead guard and forklift body overall.

Testing of brakes, forward and reverse movement, steering, lifting and tilting controls, and warning devices (horn, flashing lights, brake lights, turning lights, reversing beepers)

Checking of capacity rating, radiator water, battery water, fuel level, brake fluid, hydraulic fluid level and instrumentation.

Inspection of the work area.

Work shall not commence unless the forklift is in proper working order and the work area is clear of obstacles. Any deficiencies or problems shall be recorded, reported and addressed (refer ES&H Guidelines ESH-009 and ESH-028).

4.4. Forklifts Operation

Areas where forklifts operate shall be:

Clearly marked and sign posted (refer ES&H Guideline ESH-032);

Kept free of obstructions;

Provided with separate areas for pedestrians and zebra crossings or walkways;

Posted with speed limits and other traffic signs.

Where possible, pedestrian access to areas where forklifts operate shall be restricted by means of barriers.




Company personnel shall be instructed to, whenever possible, stay away from forklift operational areas. Personnel who need to be present at night in areas where forklifts operate frequently, shall be issued and shall wear high visibility safety garments, in accordance with Australian Standard AS 4602 (refer section 8 below). Forklift operators shall:

4.5. Maintenance

All forklifts shall be maintained on a regular basis. This shall include:

Maintenance work to be done by qualified personnel

A controlled maintenance schedule
