Why Comply?

Trained Operators:
It has been proven by many agencies that having properly trained operators not only reduces damage to products, but will also save money with less accidents and injuries.

Criminal Negligence:
Throughout North America, all regulatory authorities (OSHA, WorkSafe BC, etc.) require operators to be trained and tested prior to operating the equipment.

As any other laws issued by a regulatory authority (speed limits, no smoking, etc.), if an individual or a company chooses not to follow the law, they can be fined or sentenced to prison. The same rules and consequences apply for mobile equipment operators, supervisors and employers. All operators have to be trained and certified and the employer, by documentation, must be able to prove that the operator was certified to the regulatory requirements.

Fines/Expenses:
Aside from fines issued by the regulatory authorities (OSHA, WorkSafe BC, etc.) for possibly a few thousand dollars or more, there is going to be litigation expenses, loss of production, court ordered fines (no maximum fine amount) and many other losses which may not be covered under insurance.
