This month's Safety First column raises some interesting issues surrounding forklift training. Rob Vetter, based on extensive experience, points out that it's not enough for your trainers to know forklifts - they need to know training as well.

Sure, Rob has a vested interest in promoting the use of professional trainers - but if safety is everyone's business, so do we all.
