About this skill

Safely operating machinery and equipment such as forklifts, pallet jacks or heavy machinery, including daily checks and basic upkeep.

For candidates

Name the machines (forklift, reach truck, pallet jack, excavator, crane) and any operator certificates, with their dates. Mention daily safety checks; employers look for that habit.

For employers

Name the equipment and say whether you require an existing certificate or will train. Ask candidates to describe their pre-shift check.
