Dear budcoh,

I understand your question, but it doesn't seem to have an adequate answer from the many professionals subscribing to this forum. Please consider that such a course that you described on behalf of your client simply does NOT exist.

In my opinion, and that reflected by the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the ONLY valid use of such passive "distance training" media is to give the candidate operator the "precursors" or a preview of what s/he needs to learn to stay safe in regard to on-truck action. In no way, shape or form, can distance learning substitute for compliance training. Nor can it help one to actually learn the perceptual motor skills needed while on-truck to correctly judge distance, speed, momentum, breaking, etc. when faced with live conditions in the actual work environment.

For more on this perspective, articles on validity of forklift operator testing, and a look at what NIOSH writes, peruse L I F T O R D O T C O M.
