Who should attend this forklift operator training?

This course is suitable for warehouse personnel, logistics staff, manufacturing workers, storekeepers, supervisors, and anyone who operates or supervises forklift operations in Malaysia. It is also appropriate for employers seeking to improve workplace safety and compliance with Malaysian occupational safety requirements.

Malaysia does not issue a government forklift driving licence. However, under Malaysian occupational safety legislation, employers are responsible for ensuring forklift operators are competent, properly trained, and authorised before operating a forklift in the workplace.

This course is designed based on Malaysian workplace safety principles and industry best practices for forklift operation. It helps employers fulfil their duty to provide adequate information, instruction, training, and supervision for employees operating forklifts.

Forklift operations are generally governed by Malaysian occupational safety legislation, including:

  • Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act)
  • Factories and Machinery Act 1967 (where applicable)
  • Industry Codes of Practice
  • Employer safety management procedures

Employers have a legal duty to provide safe systems of work, competent operators, and appropriate supervision.

Participants will learn:

  • Malaysian workplace safety requirements
  • Forklift components and controls
  • Daily pre-operation inspections
  • Safe load handling
  • Load centre and stability principles
  • Operating on ramps and slopes
  • Pedestrian safety
  • Warehouse traffic management
  • Battery charging or LPG handling (where applicable)

Yes. Participants receive hands-on practical training using a forklift under the supervision of experienced instructors. Practical sessions include manoeuvring, stacking, loading, unloading, parking, and safe operating techniques.

No. This course is suitable for beginners as well as experienced operators who require refresher training or competency assessment.

While Malaysian law does not prescribe a government-issued forklift driving licence, employers have a legal responsibility under occupational safety legislation to ensure employees operating forklifts are competent, adequately trained, and supervised. Providing recognised forklift operator training is widely accepted as the most effective way to meet these obligations and improve workplace safety.
