Hi all
Can someone please tell me if there are any time limits on employees driving forklifts i.e.e a ceertain number of hours per day / days per week they cannot exceed, - do they have to take specified rest breaks?

There are certainly no prescribed limits that I am aware of. I think, as is usually the case, it is a matter of risk assessment. You would need to approach it in the same way as if you were determining the number of hours it is safe to operate a piece of dangerous machiner eg circular saw.

Discuss working time regulations and shifts with Human Resourses department if you have one, generaly I beleve that employess should not work in excess of 4.5 hours periods without a break.
