7777,
FYI the employer is also responsible for training the operator on the various job functions an operator is required to perform even if it is on the same truck. For example, on operator is initially qualified by their employer to perform forklift tasks on a sit down rider in the shipping/receiving department. But later (say 1 day to 2years & 364 days later or 365 if a leap year), the employee & same unit or another unit with identical specifications is moved to perform work in the warehouse where rack storage activities (high lift loading & unloading). The employer must train & qualify him/her on the new work activities. Further, the employer must keep a written document (dates training happened, type of training & dated qualified, etc) of each work activity the employee has been qualified for. And if the operations have changed, say higher racks & use of 4 stage uprights/narrow aisle equipment, attachments (carton clamps, etc), the operators must be requalified. No canned program can do that or keep up all the variables that can & will happen.
OSHA makes you do it!
Unfortunately, for the employees the OSHA police don't come around too much - unless an accident happens. So there are a lot of risk taking "gambler type" employers out there that ante up with their employees safety or if they do show up these employers look for the fastest & least expensive way to get their butts out of the frying pan. With those folks "DAN M" ain't your man but as an experienced, dedicated & professional trainer he is the right person to get the task at hand done right the first time - less expensive in the longer run.
The other reason DAN M wishes to come to the States is to take a picture of Lord Stanley's Cup it's been a while since it has been north of the board - LOL.
