ROCKFORD — Fairchild Equipment, a leading materials handling dealership in the Midwest, recently announced that it has received the esteemed RAVS Plus certification from ISN. This recognition places Fairchild Equipment among an elite group of contractors and suppliers out in ISN to meet or exceed the rigorous standards for workplace safety, quality outcomes, and risk management.
The ISNetworld Review and Verification Services (RAVS) and RAVS Plus processes assess a company’s health and safety practices and programs. The RAVS Plus process goes beyond a simple desktop review and on-site observations, ensuring that a contractor’s written safety programs are operational in day-to-day activities. This verification process requires documented evidence and in-person interviews by ISN staff to confirm a company’s dedication to occupational health and safety and environmental compliance.
“Receiving the RAVS Plus certification is a testament to our unwavering commitment to our ‘Safety Always’ core value,” said Marty Schumacher, Corporate Safety Manager at Fairchild Equipment. “At Fairchild Equipment, safety is not just a protocol; it’s an integral part of our culture, emphasizing safety at all times and in all places.”
For over 35 years, Fairchild Equipment has consistently provided comprehensive materials handling solutions, including new and used forklifts, aerial lifts, utility vehicles, construction equipment, and professional cleaning equipment, alongside service, parts, rental, fleet management, forklift training, and engineered storage systems. With over 330 employees, including more than 175 technicians, Fairchild Equipment continues to lead the industry with its dedication to safety and quality.
“Our top priority is ensuring that our employees return home in the same or better health than when they started the day,” said Van Clarkson, President of Fairchild Equipment. “Achieving RAVS Plus certification reinforces our commitment to not only safeguarding our team but also exceeding our customers’ safety protocols when we are on-site at their locations to keep their teams safe.”
