An English-subtitled version of Staplerfahrer Klaus, a gory dark-comedy German workplace safety film about the dangers of forklifts in warehouses.
Brought up as a beloved classic whenever forklifts or workplace safety come up in a thread.

For those unaware, Staplerfahrer Klaus is a gory, dark-comedy PSA about the hazards of forklifts in warehouses: this video Most training modules are dry and clinical. This one is the opposite. Many people are killed, dismembered, and otherwise mutilated. I think the combination of good comedy and vividly illustrated consequences makes Klaus far more effective and memorable than the average corporate training module that OP is discussing.
Am I the only one who, after reading the title, had to think of the funny classic "Forklift driver Klaus" short vid (which, with its very own kind of humour, shows WHY forklifts require training)? * For those who wouldn't know it: this video
First thing I thought of when I read 'forklift drivers' was Klaus. Here's a version with English subtitles: this video
I was just about to share it too. Forklift driver Klaus is a classic. Here's one with english subtitles: this video
