To Ken,
To get a job in Canada Ken you would need to improve your "English" first, I am talking about comprehension skills here,

Your arguement is about about training to use the hand brake while placing a load?
Is that correct?
My argument is that in Alberta, Canada we have no such legislation because this is not an issue, our experienced operators always use the inching pedal only during load handling and only use the handbrake for parking as this is what its primary function is.
However we let our new inexperienced operators use the handbrake during load placement, but only for a short time, because as their skill level increases they naturally develop skills with the inching pedal.
Oh by the way, if you wish to immigrate to Canada, you must pass the "nice guy test" first. As we in Canada strive to be tolerant and get along with others.
You might not qualify!

Cheers
