Q.
We have battery operated and pump operated pallet trucks in the company. Some of the battery operated pallet trucks have a ride-on facility.  I understand that we must provide certification in the use of these machines.
1. Must we provide certification in the use of battery operated pallet trucks?
2. Must we provide certification in the use of pump operated pallet trucks?
3. Or can employees be trained at induction stage (for either) by an experienced supervisor?

Regards,
Lisa, Cork
