In-house Forklift Instructor Advantages
When your company is able to dedicate a full-time employee to training, having an in-house trainer can be a good fit. As an employee of the company, he or she is familiar with the culture, equipment, products, site-specific hazards and accident history. Another advantage can be the flexibility of scheduling training for new employees, ensuring operators attend the training prior to using equipment.
