New Zealand Certified Forklift Training Course
Recently, 12 CIGT employees attended a New Zealand certified forklift training course facilitated by CITTI. The course included both practical and theory assessments, ensuring that by the end of the programme, participants understood their responsibilities and safe working practices relating to forklift operations. They also learned to identify potential hazards, carry out pre-operational checks, operate a forklift safely in various workplace conditions, handle loads securely, and respond appropriately to forklift-related incidents or emergencies.
We warmly congratulate all our staff on successfully completing the course. Certificates and licences were presented to CIGT staff by Managing Director Malcolm Sword, followed by a shared umu kai celebration.
