Beats the **** out of me! My TTT program is 5 days, and that is on one class of lift truck. People balk at that and tell me they can get it done in only one day. Yeah, right!

There are trainers here in town who train on lift trucks that even they do not know how to operate the trucks themselves. There are others who train staff on lift trucks that are not even present when the testing is happening, and many trainers do not even watch them drive. Open book tests are the norm and if you don't have the answer, the instructor will gladly provide it for you. And some of the organizations are government funded entities.

Now can you see where I am coming from and my frustration? I should be a multimillionaire and in the Hall of Fame for Forklift Trainers/Consultants for my programs, materials and strict codes!

Wait til you read my next editorial in the June column Safety 1st.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
