Forklift trucks are dangerous if not handled properly, which is why regulated training is so important.
If you’re an employer, you can face court cases and severe fines if you do not properly maintain your vehicles and train your operators correctly. Without the necessary training in place, some workplace insurance may not cover you in the event of an accident.
If you’re an operator, you could be putting your life at risk if you operator a truck without the correct training.
Please see some recent incidents and accidents involving forklift trucks, as reported by RTITB:
