Authorisation to operate a fork lift truck

Because of the significant risks associated with the fork lift truck operations, it’s vital that any untrained people keep well away. It’s equally important for you to regularly make it clear to drivers that if they choose to operate the trucks in an unsafe manner it won’t be tolerated.

Keep control of your trucks

Our Authorisation to Operate a Fork Lift Truck document makes it absolutely clear where you stand on this matter. Making it company policy that anyone using a fork lift truck must be trained and authorised to do so will stop colleagues “having a go”. In addition, the authorisation process makes it clear to the operator that you expect them to follow their training and complete regular maintenance checks.
