UK instructors.

ABA have issued a notice that from April 1st all awarding bodies are changing to use the same categorisations for lift trucks now. main change for me personally is the B2 category. this has changed from 5-10t now to 5-15t.
so essentially someone with a cert for 6t can operate a 15t machine.

good idea/bad idea?
would you allow this in your workplace?
what kind of internal familiarisation do you do?

thoughts?
