as someone who's run a forklift for many years without a ticket, I finally decided to take some official training. I couldn't help but shake my head at show silly this course was. It had almost zero helpful information on how to run a machine. It seemed to be mostly about theoretical safety, safety, safety issues, and no practical tips on how to run a machine with any skill and competence. Gloves, safety glasses, hardhats and steel toed boots, safety checks and stuff will do NOTHING to avoid accidents compared to understanding how to actually operate a machine skillfully.
