LOADSHIFTING CHANGES
As from the 1st January 2012, loadshifting (excluding forklift) is no longer considered High Risk under the new Work Health & Safety Bill 2011. This means that operators are no longer required to hold a licence issued by WHSQ for these machines. This does not however mean that anyone is able to operate an item of plant. Worksafe Qld states "From 1 January 2012 it is the duty of a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) to ensure competency of the operator when the plant is operated, so far as is reasonably practicable" Evidence of appropritae training and instruction for the type of plant to be operated could be:
* A statement of attainment or other nationally recognised qualification
* Training completed at an industry training school
* On-the-job training conducted by an experienced competent person
* Current relevant experience
