It was hella dumb that they only had ONE person certified to use the fork lift or powered jacks when I worked at Walmart. I literally came to that job from another job where I was a forklift operator, but they had their own certification program and never wanted to certify anyone.
Those fucking milk pallets were the heaviest fucking things coming into that store, and the forklift dude was in CAP2, not Fresh, so we had to manually haul those fuckers to the fridge with janky ass non-powered pallet jacks. 😬
Never understood this. It seems like more of an insurance risk for a company to say, “no no, we provide our own certificate training here”. Now when someone fucks up they can say “I was operating the lift following Wal-Mart’s training protocols” and they have to show their shit is proper rather than just pointing the finger at OSHA or whoever.
