Forklift Training: Why It Matters

  • Businesses are legally responsible for ensuring competence and certification.
  • Forklift licences (certificates of competence) must be renewed every 3–5 years.
  • Regular training reduces on-site incidents and improves operational efficiency.

Refresher and conversion training are vital if:
