Training Efficiency Boosted By Train-The-Trainer Program
“I would certainly recommend the Train-the-Trainer course offered by Crown.”
-Leo Linval, Assembly and Repack Supervisor
Forklift Operator Training
Crown's network of trained instructors offers full-service Demonstrated Performance (DP) MoveSafe Train-the-Operator programs.
Conducted at your site, these highly trained instructor-led sessions present powered industrial lift truck safety information with clear, understandable and highly visual presentations.
Hands-on time is structured to assure operators are trained not only in lift truck operation and task performance, but in safe operating habits and practices as well. These are crucial in effective operator training.
Model-Specific, Web-Based Training to Empower Your Workforce
Combine a learning management system and the streaming capability of our wide range of model-specific MoveSafe Operator Training options to empower your operators. Streaming enables them to complete training at a pace consistent with their individual knowledge and experience, allowing both operators and trainers to train more efficiently.
Fleet Supervisor Training
Supervisors of lift truck operators play a critical role in reinforcing the safe operating skills and habits taught during operator training sessions. Crown offers the award winning DP LeadSafe Train-the-Supervisor program to demonstrate how to effectively supervise lift truck operators and reinforce safe operating habits. The workshop covers topics such as:
Identifying proper and improper operation
Recognizing potential hazards
Giving feedback to operators
Pedestrian supervision
OSHA requirements
Safety metrics
Forklift Service Technician Training
Our award winning Demonstrated Performance Service Training workshops give service technicians the Crown-specific skills and knowledge they need to keep a fleet up and running. Since many technicians are hands-on learners, they’re more likely to retain information learned through first-hand experience than material presented in a lecture. Crown’s DP Service Technician Training goes above and beyond traditional classroom training, allowing participants to work on lift trucks with instructor supervision. Technicians can move at their own pace and focus on the particular tasks and skill groups that best serve their organization’s needs.
Demonstrated Performance workshops are customizable to the needs of each technician. They’ll only spend time on what they need to learn, and only work on lift trucks that apply to them.
Pedestrian Safety Training
Safety training for pedestrians is an important piece of a comprehensive lift truck safety program for employees and for visitors to your facilities. Crown offers comprehensive pedestrian training including two online resources you can incorporate into your own employee orientation and visitor programs.
Crown’s Pedestrian Safety Training Module helps employees who work around material handling equipment increase forklift safety awareness by:
Learning about unique forklift operating characteristics, such as the wide power unit swing when turning
Understanding the reasons for separation of pedestrians and forklifts and how to maintain a safe distance
Recognizing the importance of eye contact and communication between pedestrians and forklift operators
Crown’s Visitor Safety Awareness Video shares proper safety practices when visiting a facility which utilizes material handling equipment by:
Cautioning visitors to always remain alert and maintain a safe distance, even when equipment is not moving
Identifying the unique operating characteristics of material handling equipment
Encouraging visitors to become familiar with the facility’s work rules for material handling equipment
Pedestrian Safety Training Module
Provides recommendations for pedestrians working in a facility using powered industrial equipment, including automated guided vehicles.
Visitor Safety Awareness Video
Helps increase lift truck awareness among visitors to facilities using powered industrial equipment and provides recommended safety practices.
Safety Training for the Trainer
Crown’s DP TrainSafe Train-the-Trainer program uses the award winning, hands-on, Demonstrated Performance approach to deliver comprehensive operator train-the-trainer programming. Participants in the two-day Train-the-Trainer program will learn and practice implementing Crown’s MoveSafe operator training programs, 11 step hands-on training and safe skill and habit development process. Participants are provided the training needed to conduct these workshops, as well as three-year re-evaluations, safety refreshers (workshops), warehouse inspections and much more.
In addition, participants in the 3-day TrainSafe class or the 1-day LeadSafe train-the-trainer class are shown how to train supervisors utilizing Crown’s DP LeadSafe supervisor training program.
