Is your PIT operator that’s about to start actually ready?

2 Minute PIT Readiness Check.

Readiness isn’t a resume. It’s whether an operator is equipped to perform safely on your floor, on your equipment, Day 1 and beyond. Most staffing processes never actually confirm that.

This two-minute scoring tool was built by LSI’s T3 trainers – who have certified 73,000+ operators – to help HR and ops leaders quickly identify where the vetting process has gaps.

Eight questions. Anonymous. You get a readiness score, and specific quick wins based on your results.

Your 2-minute Scoring

For each question, pick one:

  • 0 = Not in place/don’t know
  • 1 = In place, but inconsistent / depends on the supervisor or shift
  • 2 = In place, consistent + repeatable (documented or enforced)
1) Site-specific evaluation
Score your PIT evaluation experience and skills testing against site specific needs, such as lift type and warehouse design.
2) Consistent evaluator standard
Score your PIT evaluation quality standards across the shifts for consistency
3) Practical skills are verified
Score your current practical skills and safe operating evaluations such as load handling, stacking, turns, and awareness.
4) Core warehouse readiness is screened
Do you / your agency currently evaluate attention to detail, basic warehouse skills, and problem solving before having PIT operators get on the lift?
5) Safety & skill screening is structured (not self-reported)
Do you/your agency use a structured interview to verify PIT history: truck types, recency, safety record, job fit, not just “years of experience”?
6) OSHA-aligned knowledge is checked (not assumed)
Before Day 1, do you/your agency confirm safety knowledge with a written or standardized knowledge check (pre-shift inspection rules, pedestrian awareness, load handling, tip-over risk)?
7) Pre-shift inspection is non-negotiable
Is the daily pre-shift inspection consistently done in alignment with OSHA standards? This is one of the most preventable misses trainers see on the floor.
8) Follow-up catches problems early
Do you/your agency have early check-ins, confirmations and first week follow ups to catch issues before they become incidents?
