Free Forklift Training | Tutor & Prep for RTO Assessment

This video continues the in-depth look at forklift operations, focusing on damage prevention, safe load stacking, and real-world hazard scenarios. You’ll learn how to assess load stability, understand center of gravity shifts, and apply proper controls in various workplace settings. This lesson complements the first in the series by building deeper understanding so you're ready for practical tests and safer operation. Watch & follow along with examples to embed the knowledge.

This foundational video walks you through core principles every forklift operator must understand: the importance of stability, hazard awareness, and safe movement protocols. You'll see illustrated examples of common mistakes and foundational rules to always follow. Consider this your base layer — after watching, you’ll be better prepared to absorb the more advanced modules on hazard control and practical skills.

In this video, we break down typical hazards you’ll see in a workplace (obstacles, uneven surfaces, pedestrian traffic) and how to apply engineering, administrative, or PPE controls. Watch real scenarios and see which responses reduce risk. After the lesson, test yourself: “What hazard did I spot? Which control would I pick?” It strengthens your hazard recognition muscles before you move into practical checks.

This lesson walks you step by step through the checklist you should do before turning on the forklift: fluid levels, tyre conditions, brakes, safety devices, mast, fork integrity, and more. Doing these checks consistently improves safety, reduces breakdowns, and builds your confidence. After watching, practice this routine until you can do it blindfolded (not literally)—consistency is key.

Designed for those preparing for an assessment, this video gives you scenario-based exercises where you identify hazards in environments. You’ll see 5–10 scenes and pause to guess what the hazards are, then we walk you through solutions. It’s like a quiz plus training in one — perfect for building your “hazard radar.”

This video shows correct methods for positioning, lifting, aligning, lowering, and placing pallets in storage racks. We highlight dos and don’ts: avoiding collisions, alignment errors, and tipping risks. Watch, copy the motions, then practice slowly. Mastering these techniques helps you do clean, safe, and efficient put-away tasks under assessment pressure.

This eye-opening video dives into statistics and real-world stories showing how even routine forklift use can lead to serious accidents. You’ll learn about blind spots, human error, mechanical failure, and systemic safety gaps. It’s not meant to scare you — it’s meant to sharpen your attention. Use it as a reality check and reinforce safe habits.

This video shows real case studies where forklifts accidentally contact overhead lines, causing electrocution risk. You’ll see how height, mast tilt, and load position factor in. We break down safety buffer rules, site setup precautions, and how to plan your lifts to stay clear. Crucial if you ever work where wires, aerials, or crane gear coexists.

In this session, we look at stability factors: load centre, tilt angle, floor grade, high lifts, and sudden turns. Using animations, we simulate what happens when you tilt too early, overload, or turn too sharply. The goal: internalize “what not to do” so that safe operations become reflex.

Many confuse “hazard” (something that has the potential to cause harm) with “risk” (the likelihood + severity). This video uses examples—falling load, uneven surface, pedestrian path—to show how changing exposure, frequency, or controls changes risk levels. After this, you’ll be able to assess your environment smarter and safer.

This lesson walks through the legal side: relevant Australian WorkSafe / WHS laws, operator responsibilities, site duty-of-care, and consequences of breach. Watch for case studies, then match them to real safety obligations. Understanding the law gives you context and stakes behind safety.

In this video, you’ll learn how to plan forklift routes, avoid bottlenecks, map staging areas, and optimize task ordering. Combine safety with efficiency: shorter travel times, minimal turning, and load balancing. Good planning cuts risks and time.

This video covers how using attachments (rotators, clamps, extensions) or improper battery charging setups can introduce risks. We look at weight shifts, electrical hazards, explosive gas buildup, and how to safely integrate these tasks. Vital if your site uses attachments or electric forklifts.
