Tips for this training log

  • Name the type of goods, quantity and equipment: “put away 12 pallets of drinks with the forklift” says more than “worked in the warehouse”.
  • Write down which documents you processed, such as delivery note, packing list or consignment note, and which system you used.
  • Enter briefings on forklifts, load securing and dangerous goods. They belong in the log and come up in the exam.
  • Describe deviations such as shortages or damaged goods and what you did about them.

Common mistakes

  • Only “put goods away” without quantity, type and place. It stays unclear what you did.
  • Entering forklift driving without mentioning the licence or the briefing.
  • One block of activities for all five days instead of one entry per task with hours.
