Rank: Super forum user		I have never come across this. We just kept records of who was qualified and allowed to use the FLT, and controlled the keys. End of.

Rank: Forum user		It part of the ACOP that you give permission in writing to your employees to operate a Fork truck. So technically keeping records and controlling the keys isn't enough.

Rank: Super forum user		This was news to me so I checked the ACOP and it states "After employees have successfully completed all three elements of training, you should give them written authorisation to operate the lift truck(s) they have been trained to use. You could issue authorisations on an individual basis and/or record them centrally". So, a central register of who is authorised would do it. I am still compliant.

Rank: New forum user		Norfolk Boy and Pikeman correct. Thanks to Safety Smurf - great if you can find it. References are P11 of HSG6, Para 33 and COP26, P7, Para 27, L117P8, Para 45. Hope this helps.

Rank: Super forum user		Dumpey HSG6 is no longer relevant L117 Rider-operated lift trucks -Operator training and safe use ACOP is the latest document you should be referring to

Rank: New forum user		Thanks MEden - you are absolutely right - I was just trying to show some of the other Forum members that the requirement has been around a long time.
