NOTE
The DVLA does not have responsibility for licensing lift truck operators (provided they do not drive lift trucks on public roads).
Mobile Plant
There are no government-issued licences for vehicles at work. The law requires that each operator is given adequate instruction and training by their employer so that they are competent to operate the machinery which they use (the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998; regulation9).
Driving Licences
Driving a car, lorry or bus/coach, and operating mobile plant are very different tasks, although they use some of the same skills. There is no legal requirement for plant operators to hold a road driving licence unless they wish to drive their vehicles on the public highway. All plant driven on the public highway must comply with the appropriate road traffic legislation. See references and useful links.
Authorisation, Records and Certification
Following satisfactory completion of instruction and training, the employee should be given written authorisation to operate the type or types of vehicle for which all three elements (Basic, Specified and advanced) instruction and training have been successfully completed. While there is no legal requirement for certificates of basic learning to be issued, they are strongly recommended as a useful, practical means of providing documentary evidence of relevant instruction and training having taken place and an appropriate level of operating ability having been attained.
Feedback and Service Issues
We welcome your comments and feedback. Additionally if you wish report service issues click here.

Validation Process
