The refresher workshop is delivered face-to-face and designed to refresh and reaffirm the driving skills of forklift operators to the standard required of an (LF) High Risk Work Licence holder.  The workshop will bridge the gaps in knowledge and skills and reinforce current safe work practices required by WHS legislation. 

A verification of Competency (VoC) is used to assess a person's skills and knowledge.  This process assists employers (PCBU) with meeting WHS obligations to ensure staff are deemed competent to perform a task or operate plant and/or equipment and evaluated against a prescribed performance criteria. 

A Verification of Competency (VoC) is undertaken on operators who already hold a current licence, or unit of competency, to verify that they are still competent to the standard.  It is conducted in accordance with Nationally Recognised Units of Competency.
