Are there any forklifts which do not require a licence ?
Although a Certificate of Competency is not required for pedestrian operated forklifts, employers have a general duty of care to their employees under Section 8 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000. An employer must provide such information, instruction, training and supervision as may be necessary to ensure the employees’ health and safety at work. Under this general duty an employer must also ensure that there are safe systems of work in place.
