True Gary but that is only half of the picture.
The Government has legislated to ensure competency on large forklifts by making the employer responsible for the extra -site /situation specific circumstances.
I am a RTO for forklift trucks and as such have developed the training program to suit this circumstance.
Training is not a backyard affair any longer, Professional instruction is available to those who seek it, too long have we had the situation where the employer does nothing "Shee'l be rite mate" or simply buys a training video and says "Have a look at this men."
The newly enacted Legislation requires Registered Training Organisations to oversee & provide training not only in licenced areas but outsie that area as well.
I suggest You find yourself an RTO and let the "Specialists" do their stuff.
