When a person has obtained the authorization to operate a forklift they are automatically permitted to use any type of lifting device?

No, obtaining authorization to operate a forklift does not automatically grant permission to use any type of lifting device. Each type of lifting equipment, such as scissor lifts or cherry pickers, may require specific training and certification due to differences in operation and safety protocols. Operators must ensure they receive proper training for each type of equipment to comply with safety regulations and ensure safe operation.
