The government has as much knowledge of the whereabouts of forklifts, as I do. If they knew where they are all situated, and had the government inspectors visit these businesses, and follow-up whether training has been done or not, maybe, just maybe this death wouldn't of occurred.

Yes, the company must have their staff trained but you know as well as I, that they procrastinate, put it on the backburner or forget about it.
