Worked in a food manufacturing facility where the maintenance manager completely lied about forklift experience and just winged it. He fessed up to it like a year and a half later lol

assuming U.S.A., that's on HR. if he wasn't licensed there's huge liability. if he was newly licensed... meh, immoral but we all gotta feed ourselves somehow, i wouldn't snitch.

You need a license to operate a forklift? Been operating one for 6 years now with no issues.

Yeah he had a degree in engineering. Was great with fixing equipment and building maintenance but just made up having forklift experience because he wanted the job lol I thought it was amazing. No one could tell he never had experience because he just took it slow and learned operating it while using it.

It’s a common misconception. You need to be “certified” that can take many forms but ultimately it means the company has to make sure you have the skill set and knowledge to operate a forklift.
