The toolkit, which requires registration, includes resources aimed at enhancing safety awareness, education, and training including: 

  • Digital safety manuals. Access extensive consensus documents vetted by industry committees, providing invaluable insights into best practices. The manuals complement original equipment documentation, but do not replace it, according to AEM.
  • Action plans. Interactive learning modules guide users through on-site equipment operation best practices.
  • Articles. News, best practices, and industry insights.
  • Training resources. Downloadable training slides, educational materials, and AEM’s safety pictorial database.

 “Our online safety resources build upon AEM’s 50-year legacy of promoting safety,” said Jaime Vos, senior director of cultural innovation, in a statement. “And now we are making these valuable resources available through an online toolkit, making it easier for equipment operators to reference our safety manuals and the full range of our safety training and education materials.”

I have served as the editorial lead of Construction Equipment magazine and ConstructionEquipment.com since 2001. 

Our mission is to help managers of heavy equipment and trucks to improve their performance in acquiring and managing their fleets. One way we do that is with our Executive Institute, where experts share information and ideas that will enable equipment managers to accurately manage equipment costs so that they can deliver the optimum financial benefits to their organizations.

We also have a laser focus on product development, performance, and technology; as well as equipment acquisition, disposal, and maintenance. Our exclusive Field Tests take earthmoving equipment and truck into the field for professional evaluations.
