As I have mentioned several times throughout this board, the problem lies with the enforcers. I am not sure what occurs in other countries however I do find a lack of dedication on the part of government. As long as they allow things as John mentioned to go on, then why should management care whether they have readable plates, propely trained staff, and so on.

When it snowstorms here in Ottawa (Canada, for that matter) no one is thinking about forklift training. When it is too hot, too cold, too snowy, too rainy, too windy, shortened weeks, weeks before shortened weeks, weeks after shortened weeks, hunting season, summer season, Christmas and so on, companies find a reason to procrastinate. Whether they are extremely busy or extremely quiet, it is all the same. Why? Because labour ministries do not enforce the law, and companies figure that they can get away with it.

So misinformed plates, clipboards covering plates, rusted plates, missing plates, lousy trainers, CD and online courses, all rest with the responsibility of government, and as long as they sit in their offices because it is too hot, too cold and so on, and not out in the field enforcing what they should be enforcing, we can talk til we are blue in the face, and companies will continue to procrastinate.

I said what I have to say.
