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.

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.  To register for the introductory workshop, click here!

Put your training, supervision practices, and regulatory efforts into the LIFTOR
CONTEXT
 Everybody wins. Company... Employees...their Families...And it's good for business.

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.
