As a trainer wording is a big issue liability wise. It is a slippery slope to climb telling students to use the 100 lbs./inch down rating, another approach may be to talk with the customers health and safety committee and show them the 1/50th calculations then plant the seed to have them draw up a quick reference chart that could be laminated and mounted on the forklift or posted at the receiving doors in large print.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
