Forklift training is a course that teaches participants how to operate a forklift safely and efficiently. The course includes both theoretical knowledge of safety regulations and practical training in operating a forklift, including loading, unloading, and maneuvering in different working environments.

The training lasts 1 day. There is room for up to 8 experienced participants per session.

During the forklift training you will learn:

  • The basics of forklift operation, such as steering, lifting and lowering loads.
  • Safety rules, such as avoiding accidents and recognising risks in the workplace.
  • Proper loading and unloading of goods.
  • Performing vehicle inspection and daily maintenance of the forklift.
  • Driving techniques in different conditions, such as in tight spaces or on uneven surfaces.
  • Emergency procedures in case of malfunctions or accidents.
  • A basic training is designed for people with no experience of operating a forklift. The course includes both theoretical knowledge and extensive practical training.
  • A refresher course is for experienced drivers with an expired or nearly expired certificate. These courses are shorter and focus on refreshing knowledge and skills, as well as updates in safety regulations.

You will receive a participation certificate from Prevom. This certificate will state that you have successfully completed the forklift driver training course.

If you have lost your certificate, discuss this with your employer. They will then contact Prevom.

The legislator expects employers to ensure that employees are demonstrably trained and authorised to drive machinery. In addition, this training also provides an opportunity to sharpen your competences.

Prevom recommends a reassessment of employees’ competences within 5 years of the certificate’s issue date.

The main safety regulations for operating a forklift are:

  • Use the seat belt and make sure you are in the right position while driving.
  • Keep the load low when driving and make sure the load is stable and well positioned.
  • Respect the forklift’s maximum load.
  • Avoid sharp turns at high speeds and drive slowly at intersections or in narrow corridors.
  • Perform regular vehicle checks to ensure the lift truck is in good condition.
  • Ensure clear communication with other employees in the workplace.

If you drive a forklift without a valid certificate, you run the risk of fines or penalties from the labour inspectorate. In addition, you put yourself and others at risk because you may not be fully aware of safety regulations. Employers are obliged to ensure that all forklift drivers have a valid attestation.
