WHS Acts throughout Australia state the need for training of operators of telehandlers to ensure employees and employers meet their “duty of care”. The TSHA has in place a comprehensive operator training program also known as the “Gold Card”. This involves a structured training program covering safety, hazard evaluation, pre-operational checks, operation of the various types of telehandlers and more. It is carried out by TSHA Accredited Trainers.
