Forklifts are used extensively across industries. Improper use of Forklifts can injure the operator, damage equipment, and endanger others nearby. Operation of any forklift should always be restricted only to those who are qualified, competent, and designated as Forklift Operators by the employer. In order to be qualified, employers should insist that operators have gone through training in the operation on the type of forklift they will be operating and have successfully completed a written and practical examination.
