The purpose of this training is to give some background information to those who are responsible for forklift truck drivers and those interested in becoming a trained forklift operator. The content in this course is designed to comply with the intent of the applicable regulatory requirements, but is not a replacement for the Employer's legal obligations to provide basic training and testing as described in the HSE document L117 - Rider-operated lift trucks. Learner objectives are to recognise general engineering and capacity principles associated with forklift safety; identify factors that lead to forklifts tipping over; distinguish between safe and unsafe forklift operations; describe the differences between driving an car and a forklift; identify general loading and unloading principles associated with forklift safety; specify safe refuelling and recharging procedures; and list the steps to perform in walk-around and sit-down inspections. This course was developed with subject matter expert support by DEKRA – Global advisors for safety testing, consulting, inspection, and certification. Please note, the course materials and content were current with the laws and regulations at the time of the last expert review, however, they may not reflect the most current legal developments. Nothing herein, or in the course materials, shall be construed as professional advice as to any particular situation with respect to compliance with legal statutes or requirements.
