My dad says no. He hasn't had a class since he started and his training to begin with was basically just showing how the levers worked.

Edit to add: the newest guy there knew how to drive a forklift but didn't want to until they gave him a class and certified him. They never did and eventually he just started driving it to make his job easier.

Driving a forklift is only difficult in tight quarters. How did both accidents happen?

Seems about right for public companies today

If I was a lawyer in your area I'd be suing for massive damages and trying to get federal felony charges applied... forklifts are no joke

My dad still hasn't contacted a lawyer. And now the doctor thinks he might be able to do 8 hour shifts, but my dad is having a hard time with 6 hour ones. He just doesn't want to complain.

I guess they use the hallways as a storage unit so everything is pretty narrow. Also when he got hit osha fined them for not having walkways. Not sure if they put any in yet.

It is a family owned company. I remember a few months ago it transfered to one of the children of the guy who used to run it and everyone was confused why it wasn't one of the other kids who actually had been in the plant occasionally.

Ya, I think he has finally been convinced to call the lawyer but he keeps pushing it off. Pretty sure he doesn't want to.

And the second guy seems to be being just as stupid. He wasn't hurt as bad, but he hit his head and didn't get it checked out. Just took 2 days off so his headache would go away.

Not even sure if osha was called on that one or if they are trying to sweep it under the rug.

Just because a hallway is used as storage doesn't explain forklift injuries. Forklift injuries happen because both the driver and the injured chose to not pay attention.

Sounds like your dad just got an idea for the second verse of the song that I requested he write.
