I know that telling operators to slow down is not an effective method. Human nature dictates that people will generally do what they want.

In the province of Ontario, Canada, smoking is now illegal in all public places. Companies have issued severe warnings regarding smoking in the workplace. If caught, they can be temporarily dismissed, with loss of pay, and the second time, loss of job. And that does not include being caught by the by-law officers.

It seems to be working for the most part. Therefore, the fear that employees, in this case forklift operators, have with the smoking in the workplace issue, the same fear must be instilled should they get caught speeding, or even not wearing their seatbelts, with the same consequences.

Unfortunately, management is more concerned about this smoking thing then they are about seatbelts, or speed.
