I've had these and other topics on my mind. Maybe other readers might like to hear the various perspectives on one or two of them.

1. Regulatory-Based Training vs. Performance-Based Training.

2. Is it time for a global training approach that works across ALL regulations...no matter where in the world?

3. The value of supervisors who can effectively train AND manage the performance of subordinates.

4. The coming ANSI/ITSDF Standard (B56.1) that requires supervisors to effectively use behavioral reinforcement with operators.

5. Why effective in-house trainers should NOT be regarded with contempt.

6. When even good P.I.T training fails.

7. What is the real measure of a good P.I.T trainer?

8. Dangerous myths of forklift operating, training and supervision.

9. The most important thing fellow operators can do for each other to keep each other safe and productive.

10. Why operators should be trained for BOTH safety AND speed (productivity) at the same time. Why not quality, too?

11. Who enforces regulatory standards and what is in it for them?

12 How do you tell a good one from a bad one?

Best wishes,

Joe
