It is probably also worth us taking the time to do our bit to help dispel one of the myths within our industry. The reality is, there is no such thing as a forklift truck licence.
There is no overarching governing body which means that there is no official licence.
The Health and Safety Commission recognize a number of bodies as being competent to accredit training organisations for the training of fork lift truck instructors and operators. Details of the accrediting bodies, including their areas of specialism, are given in the HSC booklet L117. We have coped them below for your reference. As stated above, we operate to RTITB standards.
