Clark Material Handling has published a hand book that does a nice job for the US market & our OSHA standards as it  relates to lift trucks.  A copy is supplier with every truck shipment adn is intended for the end user.  Maybe someone can provide you with the part number & how to order a copy for those folks "down under"

Good morning paddyB, I agree with the items that have been stated but I would go along with Johnr_j from Georgia. Contact one of the distributors, especially ones that conduct very good Train-The-Trainer courses. They have already conducted the research and have great safety training material. Plus I have attended several training seminars that are affiliated with the National Safety Council and have received great material from them. Then after what you have received and reviewed, add your site specific requirements to make it work for your facilities. Remember, you can not take away from the federal safety requirements, but you can add items to the requirements to meet your site specific needs.
