Etharp, I dont know you but it sounds like you have had first hand experience with this problem. Nothing would get done if I took that kind of advice. Its no difference if a mechanic faild to adjust the brakes and the operator drives off a dock. There is liability in everything we do, so I can trust myself in following the guidelines set by Osha to train operators. If ther are operators that are questionable and should not be certified then they dont get the liscense. I have not heard of a case where there have been an accident and the trainer was at fault and if there was I am sure the trainer made poor descisions during class time. If your doing the right thing you shouldnt be worried about a jury.
