Description:

Designating one of your existing employees as your forklift trainer without the benefit of a train-the-trainer course can appear to be a way to cut costs while still meeting your training obligations because you do not have to bring in outside professional instructors. But is your in-house training program really effective? Effective training benefits your business in many more ways than ensuring compliance with OSHA or your insurance company's requirements.
