There is no such thing as a forklift licence, but you do need to be suitably trained and authorised to operate one. Suitable training is usually recognised as being provided by an RTITB or ITSSAR qualified instructor in the UK.
Did you have any training on the truck? And where you authorised by the company to use it? Unless you went completely rogue as an employee, I'd say it's management's problem if they're knowingly letting you operate in that way.

Thanks bro, no one was hurt.
I have spoken with my area manager and indirectly with the CEO.
Not gonna lose my job, obvs were gonna throw money at the sitch because Im not licensed for the forklift so we wanna avoid insurance etc
Their insurance wanted me to admit fault on the phone, so I said I need to review the CCTV and everything needs to go through our company and gave them the number for that.
Ive seen the footage now, its not in my favour. The guy is in a weird place and I did check my mirror but Im gonna be at fault here.
Its just bad timing, Im running the place alone (manager off with stress) and we discussed stuff like this. Ive put my foot down regarding the forky, 3 weeks ago.
Bet I get booked in now.
Actually impressed my company havent thrown me under the bus.
