Safety Training

General Information

First and foremost: Good quality training is the single most cost-effective measure an employer can take.

Associated-Allied trains thousands of operators of powered industrial trucks annually. We also train hundreds of trainers. Our "Train The Trainer" course is second to none.

"SAFETY ON THE MOVE" is the operator safety program from The Raymond Corporation. Everywhere, legislation is mandating training in recognition of workplace hazards. "SAFETY ON THE MOVE" was designed to prevent accidents, reduce damage, lower maintenance costs, reduce lost time, and, in general, increase productivity and employee moral. Safety's not an accident. It is an intelligent effort by everyone. Each employee is responsible for his or her own safety."SAFEY ON THE MOVE" can help your operation get is "Safety Culture" started or revitalized.

Bottom Line Benefits

Safety-On-The-Move fork truck operator training programs are designed to pay off fast on you bottom line. Occupational Health & Safety studies have determined that an effective training program can improve operator safety performance by up to 70%. Here's what that can do to keep your company ahead of the pack.

1. Reduce Damage To Inventory: Damage to inventory caused by mishandling frequently adds to the single most costly write-off a material handling operation will experience. "Safety-On-The-Move" training gives your operators a thorough knowledge of their equipment and the latest information on safe workplace practices. We sharpen their minds and their skills to cut your losses quickly. And that;s just the beginning.

2. Reduce Maintenance Costs: When your operators know how to use a piece of equipment properly, your maintenance costs drop dramatically. That's why our :Safety-On-The-Move" training not only gives your operators the vital know-how they need to prevent costly accidents, we also teach them how to handle your equipment with an eye towards maximizing its productive work life.

3. Increase Uptime: Increased uptime yields higher productivity. It costs your company when equipment is down for repairs or when a valued worker is injured. A single accident could cause severe product damage, operator lost time, and repair delays. Then it costs again, because of downtime when equipment in the repair shop isn't producing, or when a valued worker is injured. Add all three together and a single accident can have you paying plenty and getting nothing.

4. Reduce WCB Premiums: Your company's worker compensation premiums are based in part on you safety track record, and you could realize a drop in your annual compensation premiums.

5. Increase Productivity: "Safety-On-The-Move" training not only teaches your operators to work more safely, we also emphasize efficiency. That "muscles up" productivity two ways. First, reduced accidents boost productive work hours. And secondly, there is a direct correlation between working safely and working productivity. The two just go together.
