The company I used to work for before retiring, would put all new forklift driver employees through a in house refresher course, even if they'd taken a refresher course from somebody else the day before they where employed by us. Though they wouldn't employ anybody to drive forklifts who didn't have a valid active license to drive them - as in you'd need to have done a refresher course before we would consider employing you to drive a forklift, and would also expect you to have counter balance as well as off road. It was a property developer I used to work for, so forklifts weren't just used indoors in warehouses, but also out doors off road on work sites/construction sites.
And no, we never raced them around warehouses or work sites, as that would be against the almighty OHSR, and I wouldn't do anything to upset those lot.
