Hey... Charlie's post about the UK includes a common misconception. There is NO compulsory licensing for FLT operators here.

(Having said that, the rules and guidance we do have is quite complicated. The Fork Lift Truck Association website http://www.fork-truck.org.uk/ has a whole bunch of fact sheets which answer this kind of thing - it's pretty much an FAQ about UK laws and best practice regarding FLT. Worth a look!!)

Hope that helps.
