Counterbalance forklift training is not an option for any company with forklifts operating on its property. Not only do regulations require employers to take all reasonable steps to ensure safety among their employees, but courts are also more than willing to assign liability to companies and managers who fail to ensure their workers have been properly trained. It is for this reason that the Specialised Training Services (HGV Training Centre) recommends companies operating forklifts have their drivers trained and certified.
