Fax received states a violation of OSHA compliance and a fine of up to $7,000 dollars could result if a course the "Federal Training Center" offers is not completed. The program is titled "Lift Truck TRAIN – THE – TRAINER" and instructs you to fill out an attached form which has spaces for:
The names of two employees
Business information (city, state, address, phone, email, etc.)
Type of lift truck used at your business
Payment information, has check boxes for Check#, PO# or credit card.
The credit card section asks for card number and expiration.
It lists three address to choose to take this course at; Houston, DFW and San Antonio. It also mentions that these address and dates will be confirmed upon receiving payment.
The only appealing thing about this form is the fact that "Lunch and Refreshments" are included. Plus I haven’t been to the River Walk in San Antonio in a while, so that would be fun.
The course states that it is $425.00 per person. Typical "to be removed from our list please call 1-888-497-4557" and instructions to visit www.osha.gov and search "forklift"
