Q: Is Forklift Training a legal requirement?

A: The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 place specific responsibilities on employers. You must make sure that all workers that use, supervise or manage the use of work equipment (including forklift trucks) have received relevant training, which includes the following topics:

  • Correct use of equipment.
  • Any risks from use.
  • Necessary precautions to take.

Q: How often should you do a forklift refresher training course?

A: After completing forklift training, there are no legal requirements to complete refresher training. However, HSG136 Workplace Transport recommends forklift refresher training is recommended every 3 - 5 year (or 36 to 60 month) in order to keep your skills brushed up and in top condition. Companies are always responsible for any accidents or issues that occur involving forklifts in the workplace.
