Not necessarily. For example reach trucks and trucks with stand-on operators do not need to have a seat belt fitted, so it does not apply. In certain circumstances older counterbalance trucks may still be used without a seat belt, but such use should be backed up with a written risk assessment. For further information read the HSE Information Sheet MISC 241.
