Assessed on your machines, on your site. Every operator leaves with a certificate, theory and practical records, and a site evidence statement, plus a live verification page and QR code a site manager can scan at the gate. Forklift categories sit inside this pack, alongside excavators, dumpers, MEWPs, lorry loaders and slinger/signaller duties.
Construction firms, yards, plant hire, agriculture, waste and warehouses. Assessed operator training and evidence for the machines your people actually run.

Myth buster →No UK government body issues a licence to operate plant or a forklift, and no statute requires one. The duty to train and assess competence sits with the employer, under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 section 2(2)(c) and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 regulation 9. This training is structured operator training with formal theory and practical assessment, which the employer can rely on as evidence when meeting that duty. It does not by itself discharge the employer's duty under regulation 9; the employer still holds that duty and relies on the evidence this training produces. Sites set their own entry requirements, and an operator should check with the site before attending.
The same evidence structure across every machine category, so a site can check any operator the same way.
This evidence supports the employer's duty under PUWER 1998 regulation 9; it is not a substitute for it. The employer still decides whether an operator is authorised to use a particular machine on a particular site, and this training's job is to give that decision something solid to stand on.
A live, working example so you can see exactly what an operator's evidence looks like before you book anyone.
Fred Bloggs, a SAMPLE record covering twelve qualifications: certificates, theory and practical records, site evidence statements and QR codes. Marked SAMPLE throughout, so it can be shared freely before any real assessment is booked.

No. No UK government body issues one, and no statute requires one. The duty sits with the employer under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and PUWER 1998 regulation 9.
No. It is evidence the employer relies on to meet the duty under PUWER 1998 regulation 9, not a replacement for the employer's own decision to authorise an operator on a particular machine and site.
On your machines, on your site. That is what the familiarisation stage of the ACOP requires in any case.
No. Telescopic handler, counterbalance forklift, rough terrain forklift and reach truck sit inside the same on-site pack as the other machine categories.
Every certificate carries a QR code that resolves to a live verification page at verify.phwltd.com, showing the certificates, records and site evidence statement for that operator.
