Yea Guys,
All the rules etc are in place 30 - 40 hours of training which look great on paper. But the old questions remain. Will they be enforced? There was an advertisement on the states (QLD) employment newspaper whereas one could obtain a NATIONAL forklift license for A$700 in ONE DAY. I reported this advertisement to the Queensland's health and safety authority and the advertisement is still there 4 weeks later.
When my manager sees this, his question to me is how come they can do it in one day and you take 3/4 days to complete training.

The Gov should investigate some of these licenses and maybe cancel a few to teach these cowboys a lesson.
