My minimum driving score is 85. Low level in all liklihood means that they are somewhat new, lack confidence, or show promise but have not eaned the experience to allow them to become fully competent. Anyone who is unsafe, knows not what they are doing, are not destined to become a forklift operator, or if they are wild and foolish, then no certification.

And sometimes the line between low level and fully competent is very narrow. If they are low level but show great promise, the record of training is glowing for them. If they fall on the competent side of the line yet I have some reservations, then the record of training does not paint a pretty picture.

Remember, low level means that they can only perform simple tasks. Undertaking anything that may pose a risk to injury, or worse, should not be undertaken.

I have been using this system for the past 10 years and I have yet to have someone involved in an incident...knock on wood!

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
