This has come up in the OSHA thread a few times and there's no proper "licensing" in the US, at least not at a federal level. Some places will give a teen 30 minutes of instruction and off you go. Most of the "certification classes" are poo poo like 4-hour online classes. There's no standard and no accreditation. That's actually part of the reason my new company that I'm forming is going to be offering a much more rigorous forklift certification, which will include a practical exam to show that you can safely operate in a variety of situations.

Also, forklifts are loving heavy. They have to be to counterbalance the load, so your typical warehouse forklift weighs about 4.5 tons. That's why you're instructed not to try and jump free of the cab if it tips: it will absolutely turn you to mush.

Yeah, way back in y2k when I got forklift trained, we watched some safety videos and then got to drive them.

Ol' Duke Cannon is back with more products to bath all your manly bits with DUKE CANNON'S THICK FLUIDS.



https://dukecannon.com/products/thick-70-high-viscosity-body-wash-the-quad

quote:

Fact: Teenage body washes are weak, watered down, and smell like Friday night at fraternity row. Simply put, they don't get the job done. Hard-working men require a shower of substance to accomplish a full day's work.

Duke Cannon's THICK is formulated with a noticeably higher viscosity and built to work effectively on your body, not spew down the shower drain.

WHAT YOU GET: THE GRAND SLAM OF HIGH-VISCOSITY BODY WASH SCENTS.

1x - Naval Supremacy: A refreshing and contemporary ocean scent with notes of fresh water, musk, and bergamot. (Smells like our other Naval Supremacy products.)
1x - Productivity: An invigorating and uplifting combination of peppermint, pine, and eucalyptus scents. (Smells like our other Productivity soaps.)
1x - Accomplishment: A modern and clean citrus profile balanced with sandalwood and oakmoss. (Smells like our Deschutes Fresh Squeezed Beer Soap).
1x - Old Glory: A rich, sophisticated, and classically masculine scent that blends notes of tobacco, cedarwood, and amber. (Smells like our Leaf and Leather soap.)

In MN, a forklift license is not even really issued. It just means a trainer says "You're OK". The license only applies to the company you're working at. If you go somewhere else, you have to be re-licensed. The whole system is basically a scam by "Big Forklift" to pay for constant re-training.

When I had to get certified, the test was open notes. It was a one hour class. The trainer would tell you what to write down. One of the dudes from another company didn't speak any English so one of my guys took the test for him, with the instructors permission. Another guy (from another company) couldn't read or write at all, so the instructor did the test for him.

Then the trainer comes to the warehouse and has me set up a test course. All of my guys passed because they'd been running forklifts for over a decade.

The basic principles that we were taught were, inspect your hydraulics, wear your seatbelt, and don't be stupid-drunk when operating the forklift. A little drunk was OK (I kid). Also, no-one ever wears their seatbelt.

This almost sounds like how welding certs go but it's my understanding that it's done that way to make sure people can do it well enough for the company to insure them.

idakoos isn't peak targeted shirt though; any given idakoos shirt is only about ONE concept, a single job or hobby or adjective. the real meat is those facebook ultratargeted shirts that combine five different concepts plus a birthdate. idakoos is just "i love my MOUNTAIN BIKING husband" the good poo poo is "i'm a GUNS N ROSES MOM born in NOVEMBER and my sexy MOUNTAIN BIKING husband will only put his COFFEE down to protect our SHIBA INU"
