AI assessment for high-risk work (forklift) licensing competency

Rubric-graded, human signed-off. Not a quiz generator.

Scorafy is the assessment-feedback layer for high-risk work licensing courses such as forklift (LF) training. It reads a candidate's written hazard assessments, load calculations and procedure explanations, plus uploaded video, audio or files, then scores them against your own rubric with cited evidence from the submission. A qualified assessor reviews every result and signs off before it is recorded, so no judgement is made by software alone. It is not an LMS or a student-management system - it handles grading and feedback alongside the tools you already use.

What you assess for high-risk work (forklift) licensing competency

  • Pre-operational inspection of the forklift, including identifying a fault that should take the machine out of service
  • Reading the load chart and working within the rated capacity as the load centre changes
  • Safe load handling, including travelling with the load low and tilted back, and operating on ramps
  • Hazard identification in the work area, including pedestrians, blind corners, overhead obstructions and unstable loads
  • Shutting down and securing the forklift correctly at the end of operation

A worked rubric criterion

You define the criteria and levels. Scorafy grades each answer against them, with the evidence.

Criterion

Determines whether a load is within the forklift's safe capacity

1Not yet competent - ignores the load chart, misreads it, or attempts a lift where the load centre puts it beyond rated capacity
2Competent - reads the load chart correctly, accounts for the load centre, confirms the load is within rated capacity, and explains the decision before lifting
3Exemplary - checks the load chart against the actual load and centre of gravity, identifies a marginal case and chooses the safer option, and explains the stability risk to others in the area

Why a quiz won't cut it

A high-risk work licence exists because the work can kill. A multiple-choice quiz can confirm a candidate knows a load chart exists, but it cannot show whether they would read it correctly under load, spot a pedestrian at a blind corner, or take a faulty machine out of service. That judgement lives in how they assess a hazard and what they do at the controls. Scorafy grades that open-ended evidence against your rubric, so the actual decision-making is assessed.

Written, video, audio or file

Video is especially useful for forklift assessment because the competency is physical and situational. A candidate can upload a recording of a pre-operational inspection or a load-handling task, and Scorafy assesses the actual operation against your rubric - whether the load was carried low, whether they checked the path, whether the machine was secured. That is real evidence of practice for the assessor to confirm, not a written claim.

A qualified person signs off

Scorafy drafts the scoring against your rubric and references the evidence. A qualified assessor reviews every result, overrides anything, and finalises it. The AI score is kept alongside the human-final score as an audit trail, so no decision is solely automated and every result can be explained.

Compliance and defensibility

High-risk work licensing is exactly where a human must stay in the loop. Scorafy is built compliance-first under the GDPR and the EU AI Act, and a qualified assessor reviews and signs off every result - there is no solely-automated decision about whether someone is competent to operate a forklift. Every score keeps an audit trail showing the cited evidence and the assessor who confirmed it, which is what you need to defend a licensing outcome at audit.

Frequently asked questions

Can Scorafy assess a video of a pre-operational inspection or a load-handling task?

Yes. A candidate can upload a recording of the inspection or operation, and Scorafy assesses the practice against your rubric, citing the moments that support each judgement. A qualified assessor then reviews and signs off.

Can it assess load-chart reasoning, not just whether the answer is right?

Yes, if your rubric requires it. Scorafy grades how a candidate accounts for the load centre and rated capacity and explains the decision, and shows the evidence behind each score for the assessor to confirm.

Does software decide whether someone gets a forklift licence?

No. Scorafy scores the evidence and shows its reasoning, but a qualified assessor reviews and signs off every result before it is recorded. No high-risk work licensing decision is made by software alone.

Is Scorafy an LMS for our high-risk work courses?

No. Scorafy is the assessment-feedback layer. It grades open-ended evidence and gives feedback against your rubric, and it works alongside the LMS or student-management system you already run.
