William Kidd slipped and fell as he was leaving the bathroom of an El Pollo Loco restaurant in Bakersfield, California. William allegedly suffered a tear of the quadricep tendon of his right knee and a traumatic brain injury as a result of the fall. William filed a personal injury lawsuit against the El Pollo Loco restaurant. The lawsuit alleged that the restaurant cooks were cleaning the grills, which resulted in the slippery substance on the floor. The lawsuit further alleged that the grills take up to three hours to clean, but because the restaurant only scheduled workers one hour after closing, the workers were forced to start cleaning while the restaurant still had customers present. After a short trial, a California jury found that the restaurant was negligent. It awarded William more than $16 million in damages.

This program utilizes video shot on location as well as 3D animations to train new or experienced employees in the importance of safe operation and the responsibilities of professional lift truck operations, and the skills and techniques operators can use to help ensure workplace safety and incident prevention. Anyone required to operate forklifts must be trained in accordance with mandated standards. Training must include a wide variety of topics including engineering principles, forklift operating rules, equipment characteristics, differences between a forklift and a car, environmental hazards, operator maintenance, hazardous locations, surface operating conditions, site-specific operations, potential hazards, and other pertinent information. This video does just that and is a great training aid for training new operators or as refresher training for experienced operators.
