That was one long post put forth by MrJohn. The wax on my Lambo started to dry hard before I could buff it out.

Although a refresher course when changing facilities is required, ya think any company is going to shell out money to have experienced operators specifically trained for their property? You gotta be kidding! If that was the case, I'd have my Lambo professionally waxed.

The issue we are dealing with here is the fact that companies are responsible for the health and safety of their employees, including lift truck operators.

Generally, but not always the case, if lift truck operator safety training was not the law, I'd be waxing other people s' Lambos for a living. Companies have to train their staff and the cheapest way out is the route many take, unfotunately. They believe they have done their diligence, and hide behind whatever Record of Training they received, or paid for. Looky here Mr labour officer, we had our staff trained (by an HP Pavillion Model 7583). We followed the law.

The only way to get companies or individuals off the online training programs us to outlaw them, just like they do with drugs. The hosts of these online training programs give a **** (sorry) about peoples health and safety just like drug traffickers and drug dealers give a **** about your kids health and safety. They have a gazillion departments with a gazillion officers attempting to stop the flow of drugs into our countries. The only difference between drugs and lift truck training is that their is good money to be made in drugs. A very large hardware/carpet/tile/plumbing/appliances/garden center ORANGE depot across North America uses computers to train their staff. WHO IS going to tell them otherwise? I tried but they don't listen. They just keep taking my money. I am waiting for the new version of that HP computer that will paint my house and do plumbing repairs.

Anyhow, the wax on my Maybach is hardening and I have talked long enough, so I will sit on the sidelines for now. There is no room for my propane cylinder and pylons in the Lambo
