Posted By Paul Oliver Hi Martin, In answer to you questions i would make the following comments. 1)If the operator has not attended a formal basis training course, how did he/she get certificated in the first place. the whole idea of refresher training is to ascertain a level of competence for the operator. 2) As for the difference in machines, you would have to undergo suitable training on each different type of FLT. Remember that there quite a number of serious incidents every year involving FLT's, therefore as an employer you need to be absoloutley sure that the people operating this type of plant are competent to do so.
