Should fork lift drivers wear seat belts? (2009)

The current poll has been running for just over a year and I have left it for 2010 because it is attracting a lot of attention. The strange thing is that an overwhelming majority of people say that seatbelts should be worn all the time and yet I have never seen anyone wearing a seatbelt on a fork lift apart from when on a training course!

How difficult is it to pass the fork lift truck operator's test? (2008)

I ran this poll for over a year on this site and the results are shown below rounded up to the nearest 10.

It makes me wonder why there is such a variation of opinion. It wouldn't be that some instructors don't set the course up properly would it?

50 votes: Too easy
20 votes: Very easy
110 votes: Easy
100 votes: Quite difficult
20 votes: Difficult
10 votes: Never again

practical test

You have to get 80% to pass the fork lift operator's written test. If you have done it, how difficult is it?

This is the poll I ran during 2007. The results are rounded up to the nearest 10. I am only interested in the test that came out in 2000 where trainees have to take 20 multiple choice and five open questions.

As can be seen, most people think that it is either easy or very easy.
