Rio Tinto Iron Ore (RTIO) Forklift Verification of Competency (VOC)

This VOC covers the theoretical and practical component of operating forklifts.

VOC Overview

Our VOC assessments pair a structured theory component with a hands-on practical evaluation to confirm your current skills and knowledge. Conducted by experienced, industry-qualified assessors at our Perth facility or on-site, each assessment is aligned with the relevant unit of competency and/or site-specific requirements set by mining and energy companies, as well as Western Australian workplace safety standards.

Requirements

• A current High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) in the class being assessed, where applicable
• Evidence of any existing tickets or qualifications relevant to the assessment (e.g. Statement of Attainment)
• Current photo ID, such as a driver's licence or passport
• Enough English language, literacy and numeracy skills to read safety documentation, complete the theory component and communicate clearly on site
• Appropriate PPE, including steel-capped boots, long pants and a long-sleeved hi-vis shirt

Not Permitted On Site

• Alcohol or illicit drugs, including attending while under the influence
• Smoking or vaping outside the designated smoking area
• Singlets, shorts, open-toed shoes or high heels

Respect for Trainers and Assessors

Our trainers and assessors are here to help you succeed, and we expect all candidates to treat them, other candidates and our staff with courtesy and respect.

• Follow all reasonable instructions from your trainer or assessor, particularly those relating to safety
• Use respectful language and behaviour at all times
• Aggressive, abusive, threatening or discriminatory behaviour will not be tolerated
• Arrive on time and be ready to take part in your assessment
