Re: Fork truck licence ( refresher)

Paul. Certificates don't actually expire unless you are on the RTITBs NORS database when they expire after 3 years. The requirement to have forklift operators trained falls on the employer in law not the employee, (section 2 c of the HASAW Act). You are free to refuse to do anything at work including driving the truck but I can't say what the employer's reaction would be. It is the employer, not you, who would get prosecuted under these circumstances in the event of an accident.

Re: Fork truck licence ( refresher)

It is your employers responsibility to sort out refresher training for their employees.
Although it is not a law that you carry out refresher training it is just advisory by the ACOP Manual to carry out training especially if employees have had an accident.
