Hear From Those We’ve Trained

I was recently re-certified on Telehandler and class 1,4,&5 Forklift through VIF Safety Training. Owner/Instructor Darrell was very knowledgeable and kept the group engaged throughout the course. Both workers with no experience on the equipment, and experienced operators like myself benefited from Darrell’s approach to instructing. Everyone in the course left understanding the regulations, safety procedures and hands on confidence of equipment specific to our worksite. Darrell’s relaxed and professional instruction especially helped the workers new to the equipment. We will be having VIF Safety return for more courses in Fall Arrest and Lock Out Tag Out.

I have taken safety training in all forms of machine handling for many years. Literally a dozen times. VIF and owner instructor Darrell was the most informative relaxed and on point of any I've taken. From very experienced as myself to new operators of telehandlers and forklifts we all benefited from a well balanced training session. Highly recommended

Recently had Darrell in our shop at Campbell River Boatland for forklift training. It was a combination of newbies and recertifications, and he handled both groups with ease. Professional, knowledgeable, and flexible working with us after we had to reschedule. Definitely recommend!

We've used VIF safety training since purchasing our brand new forklift at Campbell River Hyundai last August. Darrell is professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. All of our staff have enjoyed working with VIF Safety training and we will continue to use them in the future.
