Regardless of the time it takes, what should in-house/company instructors be able to DO as a result of the training they receive?

Here are five (5) of the things I believe these instructors need to be able to DO:

1. Describe each workplace hazard AND the effective on-truck action the operator needs to learn to stay safe.

2. Coach a new operator in how to recognize each workplace hazard along with the appropriate safe action needed to remove or avert it.

3. Conduct a valid on-truck test of operator skills.

4. Locate relevant written regulatory text in response to any questions asked by new operators, their peers, or their management.

5. Objectively determine whether an operator has acquired and can use a skill or on-truck behavior that was taught to them.

Can you share some of your "in-house instructor can DO" items?

Best wishes,
