This two-tray slide eaasatt prograa is to be used in tha training of fork lift drivers. Va had an opportunity to sit in on one of Ithaca training ces sions, which have Just bean initiated. Approximately eight drivers were In atten dance. At tha present tine, there is no perosnantly assigned driver to ea<h fork lift In the plant. Because of this and other old policies vhich allow essentially say esrployee to opor&te a fork lift track, the maintenance costs have been quite high. Mr. Badrvlloulea informed us that the objectives of his training prograa will be to provide peraraontly assigned drivers to each lift truck after the driver has cuceesnfiilly completed the training program which will include both written and actual driving tests. Cnee the drivers hove been trained rad assigned e certain fork lift, it will be easier to acaltor aaintenonce oosta and dotesnine thlch drivers aro aiMEing their equipoant.

Qa injured party was a nineteen year hid electrician who had been emloyed by the pleat for approxisa-taly one and one-half years.

Esportodly the Injured had been A+ing other work operatiaan on the panel while it was energised throughout the day. As we dlseuased with lb. Sarroa, serious Injuries often occur after n unsafe eet or unsafe condition has been allowed to useorreeted for a lcn period of tlse.
