The law requires that all lift truck operators are adequately trained on each type of truck they operate. As well as it being a legal requirement there are safety and commercial reasons for ensuring that operators are properly trained. Damaged goods, buildings and trucks have financial implications as does lost time due to injury.

Different training is required for all different types of lift trucks. Courses vary from 1 day refresher training to a 5 day novice course. Trained operators need to attend the refresher course every 2-3 years to ensure they continue to operate lift trucks safely. Operators are given a certificate at the completion of each course which states the type of truck that he or she may operate.
