Forklift Q5
Does a forklift require a reversing beeper or lights?

No.

However if these warning devices are fitted to the forklift the employer must maintain them. If a risk assessment at the workplace identifies that reversing forklifts are a potential risk, the appropriate control measure may be to fit lights and reversing beepers. It is, however, the operator’s responsibility, to look in the direction of travel at all times.
