IMHO- the OSHSA codes are written just the the tax codes, vague & open to interpretation- for a specific reason. Us, being the users of the codes, always seem to interpret them incorrectly when the sherriff comes to town. No matter what we do, there's always something we've missed, done wrong, etc. And of course, there's always a financial penalty for our ignorance.

As far as the specifics of training, if cheap, easy, quick programs are available in video then that's what employers will use. As I saw earlier in this thread, the only way to get rid of them is make them not a legal option, but this would kill small business. Sorry John & dan, but small businesses with high turnover rates couldn't afford to have you out constantly training new hires on how to safely unload & stack cases of beer.

Now I have to go drink (oh I'm sorry, I mean enviromentally dispose of) some spilt liquid refreshment.
