How often do I have to take a re-test for my fork lift licence?

There is nothing laid down in law about this but the Approved Code of Practice states that "refresher training should be given". For this reason, many employers arrange for refresher training and re-testing at somewhere between 3 and 5 year intervals. In the event of an accident the authorities would want to know when the operators involved were last trained and if that was a very long time ago, a court may deem that it has been too long and that refresher training should have been given.
