Getting your forklift license can make a big difference to your career as a driver, but with so many training schools offering driver and forklift training, it’s difficult to know where to go and who to choose.
I can’t make that decision for you, but can help give you a few pointers of what to look for in a forklift training program. You’ll want to make sure the course covers advanced forklift safety training, including operation of an electric forklift complete with safety cages. Also, most advanced forklift training courses will require that you already hold a full and valid license before being allowed on the course, so if you don’t yet have your license, you’ll need to opt for a beginners or getting started level course.
One of the requirements in gaining your forklift certification is to have good vision. If your eyes aren’t giving you 20-20 vision, you’ll need to make sure you’re wearing your glasses or contact lenses for the license test. It would probably be a good idea to get yourself some cheap contact lenses for your work. These could be treated as your work gear, as they could obviously get some abuse in a working environment.
If you’ve never work contact lenses at work before, you’d be well advised to get used to them when you have a couple of days off – say over the weekend. They’re much more practical than glasses, especially in an industrial environment, as you don’t have to worry about them keep sliding down your nose, and there’ll be no bother if you have to wear goggles or a face mask over the top.
