Jay Tyrrell - MEWPS and Forklift/Telehandler - Required operator training - Northland Safety LLC

5/20/2026

Equipment Operator Training does not need to be complicated. Many very competent Safety Directors are afraid to put together their own customized safety training programs that are specific to what their workplace requires. Let’s go over the rules and regulations. How do these rules apply to your workplace?  Let’s empower and encourage people to put together their own customized safety training programs that WORK. Safety training can be fun and engaging as well as meeting all requirements according to OSHA and ANSI. 

 

Jay has been involved with Safety since 1997, He has been a Safety Trainer through organizations such as Skyjack, Genie, JLG, United Rentals, IVES, Toyota Forklift and Minnesota Safety Council. He has done training sessions for organizations like Great River Energy, Crystal Sugar and Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.  With 22 years experience in the rental industry as a field representative with two different corporations, I was exposed to many different situations that directly related to SAFETY.


Now, as a Independent Safety Trainer, I believe in creating safety training programs that WORK.


Let’s get your trainees’ saying ”That was a Great Class!  I Learned A lot!!“
