Half Cab weather protection

what are the H&S regulations about fitting a forklift with a front screen and 3/4 canvas cab, I've been told canvas/flexi rear screens not now allowed because H&S recomendations state it should have a wiper fitted..therein it has to be glass screen !! is this correct ?

You are correct, this is not a new requirements but has been about in the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations and various other standards for more than 10 years.

Hi bentforks
I'm in Australia so can't comment on UK H&S requirements.
However keep in mind forklift operator has to have good around visibility to operate safely including being able to see where pedestrians are, to place and pick up loads, and to be able to check clearances to fixed objects and stacks of products
