I’m officially one of the chosen elite that has been entrusted by the powers that be to operate a very expensive and very dangerous fork truck at work.
I was actually bothing by supervisors about it for a while. I work the night shift at a very high tech CNC shop and no one else is certified on this shift. We dont need it often but sometimes heavy shit has got to move and we either do it by hand cart (boring), bother someone else on the other side of the shop (they dont like that very much) or leave it for the day guys. I’m one of the newer guys so not everyone is thrilled I got the bump and they didn’t but I made it happen. Nobody asked me to do it, I went after it. Anyways, yeah. Me + fork truck = frendz4eva
I’ve seen this one before, but for my forklift certification, they showed us actual accidents. A fully extended forklift toppling over with someone in the cage, a diesel forklift running over someone and the driver not even noticing, people knocking over warehouse racking, etc
After the certification training my colleague referred to this as the “forklift snuff film”.
Dude, I said the exact same thing when I watched the video I had to watch. It was comical how intense the scenes and scenarios were watching these poorly made manikins get mauled over and over.
