I work for Safety on Demand we specialize in forklift videos that are high impact and reproduce accidents, I get a lot of Trainers that love our materials and video's but when they go to their supervisors to get approval budget's take priority over safety. Some trainers tell me they are still using VHS from the early 80s to train with and it's just not getting the point across to their employees.

I agree it will take a mandate or criminal prosecution to get companies to take safety seriously.
