Sam, Processing Foreman, Berberian Nut Company.Five years ago my company was trying to get its arms around a forklift training program. After going to several less than fulfilling courses I discovered IVES and attended the 4-Day Premium Forklift Trainer Certification course. From that point forward everything changed at our facility in regards to how we trained operators. Not too long after that I was in the Aerial Lift Certification. Today our company has three trainers and every equipment training certification we offer revolves around what we learned from IVES. We even catch ourselves using ideas and lessons we learned from IVES in training programs that have nothing to do with mobile equipment. We are very pleased that we found IVES and are also pleased with the positive influence it has had on our operation. We are quick to encourage anyone looking for guidance to take a strong look at IVES Training. Thank you IVES for everything you do!

Ellie, Health & Safety Officer, Calaveras County.I have never been so impressed with a training company before. The time, effort and care that was put into training our employees does not go without notice. I have personally set up training for our staff to get forklift certified and loader trainer certification for myself and a colleague. IVES makes sure their trainers are knowledgeable and prepared to teach all types of learners. Our employees were impressed with the trainer and that says a lot to me. I myself was inspired by the trainer in my train the trainer course to become the best trainer I could be. He held the class's attention while making it fun and interesting. The best part is that he made the information stick. All the topics and information were explained in a way that I could never forget. I think one of the greatest gifts is confidence, and IVES gave me the confidence to know that our employees were going out into the field with the best possible knowledge to keep them safe and keep each other safe. I do not have to question the ability of my staff as operators. Thank you IVES for training us the right way and giving us the confidence we need!

Joseph, Certified Trainer, Knight Signs.Since I was initially put in train the trainer by my company (about 6 years ago) the value added to both my life and what I bring to the table at work is priceless. On February 19 I again was recertified as a trainer for another 3 years. For the most part I certify and re-certify mostly in house. The added value I mention is in the way of safety awareness. After one of my recertifications as a trainer (about three years ago) I came back to work and shared the Due Diligence Checklist with my management. This helped to propel us down a road of increased awareness of our attitude and approach to safety. Since then we pursued becoming Core compliant with work safe B.C. and we were successful. We have attained a high mark in that area and our in house safety committee has become more organized and effective. I personally have taken on a very serious approach to and focus on safety in the workplace. I believe my IVES Training was instrumental on both fronts. Thank you, Joe.

We have used IVES to bring our employee operator certification levels up to 96% of our final goal of 100% certification of all of eligible field employees. We have also sent employees to train the trainer sessions so that we can offer our own courses in remote locations and in our small town from where most of our employees live in the off season. The quality of instruction is high and our employees return to work with the skills, experience and understanding of the machines that allows them to work safely and efficiently.

Trang, Sims Recycling Solution.Prior to beginning our relationship with IVES we had a disjointed equipment training program. For the forklifts we showed a video and had the employee drive the lift back and forth. Training on aerial lifts was similar or not at all – video and drive. There was no skid-steer training. We experienced multiple incidents related to equipment usage. Contractors were using our company owned equipment as well as equipment we rented for them. We did not verify that their personnel was knowledgeable. We had numerous incidents with equipment being damaged or personnel having to crawl down booms to escape from elevated platforms. We had vendors performing annual inspections on equipment, placing a certifying sticker and then finding so many safety related items on the lift that it had to be taken out of service. We started slowly training a core group of instructors in the IVES system. This first created awareness within a larger group of company employees that resulted in establishing a relationship with a knowledgeable vendor that could conduct correct annual inspections. We established comprehensive classroom training with a knowledge verification method, next came a comprehensive system to verify the operators could perform. We are spread across three geographical areas and the verification effort is the same at all three areas. We upgraded our equipment inspection efforts and now have employees conducting regular documented inspections and vendors keeping our equipment in top condition. Ives has given us a consistent, comprehensive and verifiable training program for our equipment operators. Along with education comes awareness and that helps create safer operators, less incidents, less damage. The journey has taken us two years and at times it was painful – it wasn't easy. We are at a better, safer place than we were at before IVES. We are starting to see our contractors also pick up the challenge and getting their trainers certified as IVES Trainers.
