Online courses are fantastic at answering questions like what's a monotrol pedal on a Hyster? What does the SAS light on the dash of my Toyota lift truck mean when it comes on? What's that big red button at the end of my handle on a Clark walkie style truck do? Online courses are fantastic at motivating people as well. I have seen many engaged and excited people at a computer terminal taking online courses! I change my thought process and priorities many times after reading someone's Facebook post... NOT. Can we please stop accepting the easiest path as being "good enough"? Can we please care about the intent behind any training law, it's not to have proof I faked training. The intent is to help our operators make better choices on a daily bases improving their chance and their co-workers chance to make it home every night to have supper with their families. And not end up in an emergency room or the morgue. If all you care about is PRETENDING to be in compliance with workplace law as cheaply and quickly as possible... GO ONLINE!

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
