The EHS Team has decades of combined experience operating and providing training for an array of mobile equipment operations. Our training for Powered Industrial Trucks certainly includes your traditional forklift operations, but it also goes well beyond that. We deliver classroom training and hands-on equipment operations evaluations to ensure full compliance with the regulatory requirements and ensure your mobile equipment operators have the skills necessary to operate safely in your specific working environment.
Various forklift operations incorporated in our training could include, based on your equipment needs, order pickers, turret trucks, electric hand trucks, walkie stackers, extended reach forklifts, rough terrain forklifts, heavy-duty forklifts, various tractors, and tow motors. Beyond the traditional Powered Industrial Trucks, we also deliver training for wheel loaders, skid steers, backhoes, yard trucks, rail car movers, container handlers, reach stackers, telehandlers, and all kinds of forklifts with various attachments. Our goal is to take our base materials and incorporate the details of your equipment and focus on those, to meet your specific needs.
We would love to discuss with you the options we have for mobile equipment training. Whether you need an operator training course, train-the-trainer course, assistance developing your own training materials, or any other aspect of helping your company improve upon its mobile equipment safety program, contact us today so we can talk mobile equipment safety with you!

Spring and Summer are just around the corner, and we at ATN are beginning to see the interest pick up in many of our popular classes. Since many of our classes utilize state-of-the-art hands-on training equipment, the calendars for that equipment are beginning to fill up. I noticed just this week that our calendar for Hydraulics is almost full for May. If your company is planning to conduct maintenance training for this spring or summer, it may be in your best interest to go ahead and contact us so that we can get your class on our schedule! Equipment is limited.

Proper documentation is critical in every aspect of managing your employees, but don’t document just to document—poor documentation is often worse than no documentation at all. Instead, document with purpose. Here is the top do’s and don’ts of documentation.
Do’s
Do establish clear performance expectations.
Do focus on the facts.
Do review patterns of problem behavior.
Do write a specific plan.
Do follow up
Don’ts
Don’t generalize
Don’t diagnose why the employee is performing poorly.
Don’t include your mental impressions or editorial comments.
Don’t embellish, stretch the truth, or call it something it isn’t.
Don’t apologize
Practical Takeaway
Documentation is an important aspect of managing your relationships with your employees.
