Since taking the "Train the Trainer" course, I have certified well over 125 employees with this system. This has really stepped up, not only our expectation of a safe work experience for our employees but has also created some very good talks amongst ourselves in the forklift world of safety.

As well I have helped another trainer, we have on another site also get his terminal location compliant with regulated training. Total to date we have passed the message of safety training out to well over 200 employees in our organization.

The training I received was top notch and it continues to be passed down every time we complete new operator training or re-certification for all of our current operators. If your company is looking for the leading operator training company, then you need not look any further than IVES.
Shawn | Health & Safety Supervisor | Boxmaster PackagingI have been involved with mobile equipment for over 25 years and have taken several different courses during that time. Back in 2005 I received a promotion to Health & Safety roll and took on the mobile equipment training. I had the opportunity to go through train the trainer and found the class to be top notch in every aspect of the training I received. Today we are not only using the IVES training system for or forklift operators, but also for our SPEWP Scissor lift operator training. The training I received was top notch and it continues to be passed down every time we complete new operator training or re-certification for all of our current operators.

IVES has a vast knowledge of what it takes to achieve excellence in safety and how to get there. I would highly recommend any of their classes to anyone who wants to gain knowledge on how to train their operators.
Stephan | Trainer CSO | Georgia Pacific CorpThe training we received was excellent. We were able to develop a much more in depth training program to ensure that our operators knew exactly what to do to keep themselves safe.

Hats off for the Trainer Recertification Program that has a format that brings trainers together from many types of industries and walks in life. We all have learned from sharing experiences and training techniques as well as IVES personnel listening and offering solutions/ideas to any questions, problems or changes we have in our workplace while training/recertifying our mobile equipment operators and/or keeping up with regulation or training upgrades.
Scott | Certified Trainer | S & R SawmillsThis spring at S & R Sawmills, we are going to surpass 100 certified forklift operators that have been trained and recertified in the last 10 years, using IVES materials and resources. Our mobile equipment safety record is excellent and this is in part to the knowledge and skills of our operators, as well as the training/recertification process that is made much easier using Ives materials and resources. Documentation is made easy with Operator Compliance packages and the Recertification notepads and now using my member login there are many downloads and training products available to make this job even more professional and streamlined.

We have become a safer and more compliant company with the help of IVES. I was a little nervous about the Train the Trainer program, but that was all put to rest the day the course started. The course was very rewarding to both myself and our company. I highly recommend IVES to anyone who asks how I became a trainer.
Derek | Home Centre Manager | Delmas Co-Operative AssociationCongratulations on turning 35! My testimony is nothing but praise! I was sent out on a Train the Trainer course in Abbotsford, British Columbia so that our company would have access to an in-house trainer as we live in a remote area of the world, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. We had compared costs and realized that having our own trainer for counterbalanced forklift operation would create substantial financial gains and being able to train at any time due to staff turnover was too great to ignore. I am also able to keep a closer eye on any safety issues that may arise as I interact and work within the association. We have become a safer and more compliant company with the help of IVES. I was a little nervous about the Train the Trainer program, but that was all put to rest the day the course started. Rob from IVES explained everything to us in class and what to expect and course material was easy to follow and Rob was excellent at training us to be trainers. The course was very rewarding to both myself and our company. I highly recommend IVES to anyone who asks how I became a trainer.

We have trained over 300 forklift operators using IVES-trained trainers. Our incidents are down, and safety observations are up as is our Forklift Drivers' awareness. One driver stated "I have been a forklift operator for 15 years and didn't know what didn't know. I now feel like I am a safer and true Forklift Operator".
Luz | Safety Training Manager | Wonderful Pistachios & AlmondsSince March of 2015 until April 1st of 2016, we have trained over 300 forklift operators using IVES-trained trainers. We developed a three-day Forklift University to put all of our drivers through, with this new training. The 3 days allowed us to use the IVES materials (Spanish & English) and evaluate each driver's good and bad safety habits during a practical training day (day 2). I like to refer to the training as mini boot camp – where, like in the military, we attempt to get rid of old bad habits and instill knowledge and new safe behaviors, as well as promote a safe driving attitude. The results have been incredible. The students have been so impressed with the materials and content, stating they have learned things they never knew as forklift operators. The Stability Triangle is a huge eye-opener, thanks to IVES. Our incidents are down, and safety observations are up as is our Forklift Drivers' awareness. One driver stated "I have been a forklift operator for 15 years and didn't know what didn't know. I now feel like I am a safer and true Forklift Operator". Thank you, IVES!

The IVES Training System has been a very valuable tool for myself as a new EHS Coordinator, and a tool that has facilitated a standardized training program for our associates. The system is simple but complete which makes facilitation of all areas easy for me, the new guy.
Tracy | EHS Coordinator | Warren DistributionThe IVES Training System has been a very valuable tool for myself as a new EHS Coordinator, and a tool that has facilitated a standardized training program for our associates. I came into my current position after a career in public safety and the fire service, so a small learning curve was anticipated. Shortly after beginning my new position, I discovered that training had been conducted by various persons through various resources. I also discovered what I would term as "blanket" training had been conducted in the past. By "blanket", I mean that associates were trained through counter balanced theory, but were operating other types of lifts without training or instruction for that specific type of lift. The IVES Training System has provided me the appropriate knowledge and resources to convey appropriate training, as well as proper records management for each specific training area. The system is simple but complete which makes facilitation of all areas easy for me, the new guy.
