Joe M,
Productivity and OSHA compliance certainly need to work in concert.
OSHA put a lot of specific items that are required to be included in the curriculum.
I think a safety booklet should stay focused on safety and let the middle managers and the "LEAN 6 SIGMA" team
pour the kool-aid at the productivity meetings.
The managers without lots of forklift work experience I have seen as instructors, need to work hard to earn the respect of the experienced operators and when the instructor starts focusing on productivity numbers the idea of safety might seem diluted.
