"Train The Trainer..."
Certification or Confusion
Don't be fooled by the incorrect
term CERTIFICATION when the
correct or proper term is
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION. Many
training companies boldly advertise and
offer a "train the trainer" certification class
that hands you a certificate of completion
at the end of their course. There are no
accreditation or mandated certification
qualifications in order to be a trainer or
instructor. There are no government or
private agencies that have been
approved, endorsed or empowered with
certain standardized credentials or
qualifications to train instructors and then
issue trainer certifications.
The above excerpt does not reference or
imply the term CERTIFICATION. The word
"TRAINING" can imply many meanings
since the word is not defined. We can
assume "on the job training" would qualify
a person doing the training if they are
experienced, capable, competent and
knowledgeable of the specific equipment
and application. With our easy to use
safety training kits you can meet OSHA's
compliance requirements.
As an employer, if you choose to ignore
the new training rules adopted by OSHA,
a minimum fine or penalty of $7,000 for
EACH untrained operator can be assessed
for non-compliance.
The OSHA regulation 1910.178, Powered
Industrial Trucks, revised 6/2/2003,
paragraph (L)(2)(iii), "Operator Training",
clearly states: (l)(2)(iii) All operator training
and evaluation shall be conducted by
persons who have the knowledge,
TRAINING, and experience to train
powered industrial truck operators and
evaluate their competence.
