Does a fork lift truck have to be fitted with a seat belt?

Will trainees require a practical test as well as the theory provided by your course?
For due diligence purposes the employer should have a competent person perform the appropriate physical testing to ensure the proper use and maintenance of the lift trucks to be used. Unfortunately the regulations are not specific about the required qualifications of those deemed to be ‘competent’. CSA standards require that only those qualified persons who have been trained regarding the inspection, operation, and application of an aerial platform, including the recognition and avoidance of hazards associated with the operation, shall operate an aerial platform.
