Call for Nominations for 2017 Top Trainer Awards

 

The Top Trainer Awards are returning this fall, and Crane Hot Line is now accepting nominations! In the November issue, the crane and rigging industry’s most influential safety trainers in construction and heavy industry will be recognized for their positive impact on students, the work environment, or the industry through the use of innovative training techniques or hands-on instruction; by encouraging peer or corporate accountability; and through quantitative or anecdotal evidence that the training was successful.

The Top Trainer Awards program, created by Crane Hot Line magazine and endorsed by the Association of Crane & Rigging Professionals, is designed to recognized crane and rigging trainers working in construction and heavy industry.

 

For the past 10 years, trainers working for crane dealers, rigging suppliers, rental companies, insurance companies, contractors, inspection companies, manufacturers, heavy haulers, professional training organizations, and more have received Top Trainer awards. These trainers have shown their ability to build trust among students and make their content relevant to the jobsite and trainees.   Download Nomination Form
