Ensuring forklift usage skills

Before issuing the permit, the employer must ensure that the driver has sufficient abilities and skills to use the truck or type of truck in question.

It is possible to acquire the skills required to drive a forklift with the guidance of an experienced operator or by participating in operator training. In general, the assessment of competence requires a practical driving test in addition to testing theoretical information. The qualification can also be obtained, e.g., in connection with certain professional degrees.
