Queensland Licence To Operate A Forklift Truck (TLILIC0003) Practice Exam

Noticing faults, near-misses, incidents, damage to equipment, or maintenance needs after operating a forklift signals a safety risk that must be addressed before the next use. You should report these findings through the proper channels—your supervisor or the maintenance/safety team—so they can inspect, repair, or service the forklift and document what happened. This quick reporting helps prevent repeated or escalating hazards, protects people from injury, and keeps equipment in safe working condition. It also creates records required for safety compliance. If you were to continue operating, ignore the issue, or rely on someone else to handle it informally, the risk could grow and a fault could lead to a serious incident. The right action is to report all faults, near-misses, incidents, damage, and maintenance needs.
