Why Forklift Operator Training Is Important
The Importance of Forklift Seat Belt Safety
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) place certain requirements on employers. You MUST make sure that all people who use, supervise or manage the use of work equipment have received ‘adequate training’, which includes:
- The correct use of the equipment;
- Any risks from its use;
- The precautions to take
At least once every 3-5 years. Or sooner if an accident has occurred, or non-use for a long period of time. Our certificates of training are valid for 5 years.
An operator needs to use a different truck type e.g. has been trained on a counterbalance forklift, but know needs to use a reach truck or PPT etc.
Lift truck operators should be over the minimum school leaving age (16 years old), except in ports where they must be at least 18 years old.
There is no such thing as a licence to operate a fork lift! Many people refer to their certificate of basic training as a "licence" but this is not the case. The certificate that is issued to successful candidates after a training course is properly known as a "Certificate of Training" and is usually accepted as proof that the holder has attended an accredited training course and passed the fork lift test. Many people think it is like a car licence but this is not the case and never has been.
