Posted By Raymond Rapp Da Guru Judging from the lack of responses I guess like me others are not sure. I suggest you contact a FLT training provider and ask them. That said, I would say that flashing amber lights are a good practice and where they are fitted they must be working. Whether they should be fitted will possibly depend on the working environment and of course through your ubiquitous risk assessment. Ray

Posted By andrew morris Morning, Sorry to give a generic answer but "it depends on the risk assessment". I would suggest that they should definately be fitted if used in dark areas or at night. I would also suggest, that for the cost of them, it would be a reasonably practicable control to put in place under any circumstances. If one is fitted but not working, it must be repaired.

Posted By Bob Y If it helps, HSE HSG6 - Safety in working with lift trucks, says that you should consider fitting a flashing yellow light on the top of the lift truck to warn people (para 57 j)

Posted By Toe As always some good advice from the above posts. I would remember to consider Photosensitive epilepsy in your risk assessment especially in small areas and where the surrounding (walls etc) are reflective. I give this advice speaking from experience.
