Next Events

Tuesday, 04/09/07, registyration 8:30 for start sharp at 9.00-12.30
Wollongong - The University of Wollongong - UniCentre (building 11) Function rooms 1 and 2.
On this occasion the Workcover Business Assistance Unit bus will not be able to attend. However Workcover staff will still be on hand.

The forums have a mix of industry expert speakers including independent bodies, legal professionals and the regulators and a run for 3 to 4 hours of the morning. The forums are aimed at managers and supervisors directing forklift activity. Attendance is free of charge. To assemble such a group would cost an individual company many thousands of dollars, so the organizers, Forkpro Australia's Todd Brennan has arranged industry sponsorship to cover the cost.

Victoria has been running the forums for 4 years now and has recently conducted the 60th event whilst NSW has commenced last year and continues to build momentum. For dates or enquiries contact enquiries@forkpro.com.au (NSW).


All times, dates and speakers subject to confirmation and may change
without notice. Please check with organizers prior to each event.

* Workcover NSW Presenting current information on forklifts within the workplace.
