VOC Telescopic Materials Handler

What Is a VOC Telescopic Materials Handler Operations Assessment?

A VOC Telescopic Materials Handler Operations assessment is a theory and practical assessment that confirms you’ve maintained the skills and knowledge behind your existing telescopic materials handler operations qualification.

A VOC (Verification of Competency) Telescopic Materials Handler Operations assessment doesn’t replace your original qualification; it verifies that you’re still competent to operate a telescopic materials handler safely and effectively in construction, mining, resources and materials handling environments.

Specifically, this assessment confirms that an individual has maintained the skills and knowledge attained as per RIIHAN309F Conduct telescopic materials handler operations or equivalent.

Who Needs a VOC Telescopic Materials Handler Operations Assessment?

Many WA construction sites, mine sites, civil projects and resources employers require a current VOC, commonly one issued within the last two years, before you can operate a telescopic materials handler on their site.

You likely need a VOC Telescopic Materials Handler Operations assessment if:

• A mine site, construction project or employer has requested proof of current competency
• Your workplace requires a VOC issued within the last two years for site access or telescopic materials handler operation
• It’s been a while since you operated a telescopic materials handler and you need to demonstrate you’re still competent
• A new employer or project requires verification before you start operating a telescopic materials handler
