Across the materials handling
industry, operations managers expect forklift and operator operator instructors to contribute
to high standards of both safety and productivity.
Supervisors who can deliver both will win operator respect and management’s
confidence.
LIFTOR offers a unique opportunity to bring
forklift training in-house; manage the system with your supervisors; and jointly
develop a valid and reliable on-truck test for each make and model of
forklift. Also we issue certification credentials, keep all records for
you in a private registry, and we certify your in-house supervisors as effective
instructors and test examiners.

What is
LIFTOR?
It is a VOLUNTARY National Licensing System you can
use to standardize your forklift operator management,
productivity, and
training practices. The standards are set through a
team-validated on-truck performance test, also called a
skills check. You can add a LIFTOR test to your existing training.
LIFTOR is an applied performance systems model with the sole
purpose of improving industrial truck operator safety and
productivity at your industrial site.
LIFTOR guides you as your work
CONTEXT gets organized
to cause operator productivity to rise while the risk of
injury and collateral damage is greatly reduced. It is one
of the few existing training and supervisory systems that
have established a correlation between the right training-related interventions and the incidence
of lost workday injuries. (See US DOL Docket S-008,
“Full Text of Testimony” )
At LIFTOR, we know what
works and what doesn't work. We transfer our
technology and know-how so it becomes your technology and
know-how, as we provide ongoing management support and
oversight.
The LIFTOR
model is a prescription for how to organize and manage the
organizational
CONTEXT to enable effective industrial truck
operator training, and supervision. The LIFTOR
CONTEXT
is developed through structured and learnable analysis,
design, development and evaluation methods. Once learned,
the LIFTOR practices will generalize to other safety and
productivity systems at your business.
The
evaluation methods used by the LIFTOR process rely upon
custom designed and validated tests (work samples or skill
checks) that meet
not only the OSHA standard but are a preemptive regulatory
management strategy for compliance with the EEO and OFCCP
rules regarding employee selection procedures. (Only
operators and front-line supervisors who pass a rigorous
on-truck test are permitted to operate an industrial truck
or, in the case of front-line supervisors, administer the
test.)
The custom
designed skills checks (performance tests) require that the operator learns
how to operate the truck
safely under all recognized hazardous conditions. Front-Line Supervisors administer the
skill check (test) according to a
rigorous set of operating standards. This is a
substantive rather than superficial
approach to ensuring the efficacy of operator training...and
effectiveness of your supervisors. Everything is done
on-truck. For operators, there is NO compulsory classroom lecture, NO video, and
NO written tests or quizzes.
When you join LIFTOR, you join a network of people and
companies who are serious about improving the risk of injury
among operators.
LIFTOR helps you to make the right
decisions about management and operator training. And, LIFTOR
acts as a central resource for sharing useful job aids,
checklists, management practices...and centralized
record-keeping. We even produce credentials for your
operators. But none of this works unless a useful
CONTEXT
can be organized at your place of business. Operator
on-job performance is dramatically improved because of the
improved
CONTEXT
that allows for effective one-on-one training. If you
agree with this no nonsense approach, please contact us now
for a free consultation.

A quote that reflects
25 Years of LIFTOR Continuous Improvement:
|
"Perfection is
finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add but
when there is no longer anything to take away."
Antoine de
Saint Exupery |
Another Quote:
"If we examine our actual societies frankly, we soon discover that they
live less by faith and hope than by charity. We treat with courtesy
those whom we do not respect, and we do business with those whom we call
hopeless. Our social, especially our civic, relations imply our
willingness to tolerate many whose faith we do not share and co-operate
with many whom we hope not to meet in heaven."
Schneider, Herbert W.,
Meditations In and Out of Season; Unpublished manuscript, 1974. |
At LIFTOR, we don't just
give managers what they want. We cut to the chase and serve their
fundamental mission: Corporate strategy execution at the front-line. We become partners; sharing our
practical management
perspectives, training know-how, and tools. We make our technology
your technology...so you get employees aligned for productivity
integrated with safety...from the "get-go".
Forklift operator training, supervision, and regulatory
compliance work best when front-line supervisors provide the
right
CONTEXT.
(Clear operator expectations; working equipment and
procedures; and reinforcing feedback)
With LIFTOR, there is a substantial and highly effective training
component that always ends with a validated on-truck, on-the-job test. Yet, there is
little-to-no time wasted with classroom
presentations. NO written tests. No workbooks. No lectures. No boring video
tapes, No lengthy but useless CD-ROMs or un-focused web-based instruction! LIFTOR keeps operators
on-the-job! NOT on their seat in the training room! With LIFTOR you
comply with OSHA and other standards too! How do we do it? read on!
The LIFTOR value proposition is
simple
and
powerful: Operators working within an effective
CONTEXT
produce effective results for
your business.
Damage Stops. Injuries Stop. Fatalities Stop,
and incidents Stop...as operators learn, from their supervisors, to meet
both productivity and safety demands on-the-job. It's all about
CONTEXT.
In addition to validated skills checks (tests) LIFTOR offers a completely on-truck training component that meets
ALL OSHA training requirements. Operator
safety, though, is
more about supervisors removing barriers in the work environment and
organizing available resources: equipment, their own supervision
practices, skills, and
expectations. It is not just the "training". In
fact, classroom training can interfere with the time it takes your
operators to reach their full, safe, and productive development.
Operators simply can't learn to operate a lift truck sitting in a
classroom.
That's why LIFTOR is more "time on the truck" with very little "time in a
classroom". Working within the
LIFTOR
CONTEXT
keeps YOU in full compliance with OSHA, too. We ensure all
this with a valid certification skills check (test) of on-job skill.

More about LIFTOR...
LIFTOR is a model National Licensing System for those who
are serious about forklift operator safety WITH productivity.
Installing LIFTOR gives you a fully customized training and management
system that is guided by LIFTOR professionals, as we work continuously
with your own front-line supervision. With LIFTOR, Supervision and their
charges align with the corporate strategy, goals, and accountabilities of the
corporate executive team.
Front-Line Supervisors learn how to better supervise
operators by acting as on-floor instructors, skill examiners, and the
gate-keepers of work standards, and team facilitators. LIFTOR focuses on good supervisory
practices based on clear and objective work standards. We develop
work standards for operators and supervisors as they become the metrics
for supervision. The heart of LIFTOR at your warehouse or DC is a
validated on-truck test that verifies operator skill at the onset, and
gives the focus supervisors need to encourage productivity WITH safety.
The supervisors become the instructors and examiners, certified by the
LIFTOR Organization to be in compliance with OSHA and other regulatory
agencies...while you get an edge on operator productivity.
As supervisors take on the role of
instructor, the instructor's job is complete and effective ONLY when
s/he can verify that the operator's on-job skill (precision with speed)
can be demonstrated. At LIFTOR we VERIFY and CERTIFY that
the training works on-the-job, not just in the classroom; and not just
because we are in compliance with government regulations. We use
validated skill checks (on-truck tests) to ensure high quality transfer
of skills from the instructor to the operator. The operator's become
true masters of their job...not just "trained". If you agree that
adding LIFTOR with its validated ON-TRUCK certification testing could improve your
management effectiveness, and your operator's safety and
productivity, please contact us.
We'll help you add a valid on-truck test to your instructional
practices while installing the complete LIFTOR system. |
