Not a fit / obtain specialist advice

  • the traffic ground and visibility controls
  • the lifting plan and banksman requirements
  • the shift checks and maintenance process

Day-to-day operating brief

What Telehandler (Waste) work looks like in practice

A waste-site telehandler operator moves containers, baled material and equipment within a controlled traffic environment. The role requires plant competence, daily checks, load awareness and disciplined communication with banksmen and site teams; throughput targets should never imply authority to lift an unsafe or unidentified load. Load charts, attachment selection and ground conditions remain decisive even when a yard routinely handles the same bale or container type. Visibility restrictions and pedestrian movements require a banksman or revised route rather than lifting high to see beneath a suspended load.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Check and operate the authorised telehandler.
  • Move bins bales and materials as instructed.
  • Select approved attachments and load limits.
  • Maintain pedestrian and vehicle separation.
  • Record movements defects and unsafe conditions.

A realistic working scenario

Before loading a bay, the operator completes the machine check and finds that the attachment record does not match the fitted equipment. They isolate the telehandler, mark the loading task as delayed and ask the plant supervisor to verify the attachment and capacity before movement resumes.

Outputs to agree

  • safe, accurate movement and placement of authorised loads
  • completed plant and attachment checks
  • clear handovers on defects, traffic changes and unfinished loads

Records and evidence

  • Pre-use plant inspection.
  • Attachment and capacity information.
  • Load or movement ticket where used.
  • Defect, incident and shift-handover log.
  • Work records.
  • Handover notes.

Reporting relationship

Typically reports to Line Manager or Department Manager. Confirm the employer's actual reporting structure in the builder.

Authority and escalation

  • The operator controls whether an individual lift can proceed safely and may stop the task. Changes to attachment, lifting plan, traffic route or handling of an unidentified load require the plant or site supervisor's approval.
  • Obtain approval before committing expenditure, changing contractual commitments or making regulated or staffing decisions outside the assigned role.

Tools and systems

  • Design tools.
  • Cameras.
  • Risk assessment records.

Workplace context

  • Production, workshop, site or field locations.

Training and certification

  • Complete employer-required health and safety training.

Contract priorities

  • licence or competence evidence
  • site traffic and banksman signals
  • plant defect isolation
  • shift, outdoor and changing-site arrangements

Information the employer should prepare

  • the site machine attachments and loads
  • the competence and authorisation standard
  • the traffic ground and visibility controls
  • the lifting plan and banksman requirements
  • the shift checks and maintenance process

Individually written and reviewed against the maintained role record.

The load and machine capacity must be established through the employer's safe system. If that information is missing or conflicting, the operator should stop and refer the task.

Can any attachment be fitted?

Only compatible approved attachments.

How is capacity checked?

Use the machine chart for configuration and reach.

Can people ride on forks?

No, except approved personnel equipment and procedure.

What if visibility is blocked?

Use a banksman or safe alternative.

Who checks ground suitability?

Apply site and operator checks before travel or lift.
