Explination of Events

• The purpose of this exercise to sharpen the skills of the ACSC forklift operator on a continual basis. Forklift movement, stacking, loading/unloading, general safety will all be observed during the exercise.

• Scoring This Exercise 1= Retraining on particular subject is needed, 2= Acceptable but needs some practice to be perfect, 3= Passed section with no issues at all. Yes= Operator consistantly does, No= Operator does not do this everytime question is observed.

• If applicable, has previous exercise for this operator been reviewed by observer to ensure they are familiar with the operators history?

Open Discussion with Operator

• In this section you will take notes from your discussion with the operator about areas of improvement that can be made. This should include any general observations not marked on exercise as well as areas the operator did not have a "yes" answer to.

• I understand the discussion points from the exercise and will continue to work on areas of improvement.

  Sign

• I have explained findings to operator and found areas that the operator can improve on moving into the next scheduled exercise.

  Sign

• Has next scheduled exercise been scheduled with this operator? If not, do not complete this exercise until doing so. Once scheduled, save and close this exercise.
