As a forklift training specialist, my income is solely based on providing the most meaningful forklift training available. Most companies seek the cheapest, not necessarily the best. There have been four incidents in my area over the past few months, none of these firms staff trained by me. With forklfit related deaths descending, but one is too many, I doubt government intervention will come to be. They just don't care, and neither do the companies. I have written articles in the Safety 1st column about businesses and indivduals whose first question to me on the phone is 'how much' as opposed to 'what will you teach me, what will you teach my staff' Oddly enough, when there is a golf tournament, no one asks how much;they just sign and go. Companies look upon their blue collar workers as second class citizens and really don't give much thought. They buy the beautiful office furniture, coffee machines and computers but training for their warehosuing staff is compromised. Hate to say it but a huge rash of deaths may awaken the government and CEOs to this problem. Insurance companies collectively should hike the premiums if safety is not a priority, and maybe then, some of these companies will take training more seriously.
