Wayne Michael Bell founded B-Ready Training to help companies develop safer, more confident equipment operators and capable internal trainers.

Engineering and manufacturing foundation

His career includes more than a decade in engineering and manufacturing, spanning materials and metallurgical work, automotive laboratories, production support, technical service, electrification manufacturing and engineering project management.

Equipment-training experience

The B-Ready approach

B-Ready comes to the customer’s facility so instruction and practical evaluations can reflect the actual equipment, traffic patterns, surfaces, work areas and hazards employees encounter. Programs are available for PIT/forklifts, AWP/MEWPs, overhead cranes and Train-the-Trainer needs.

ENGINEER-LEDTechnical thinking translated into clear instruction.
WORKPLACE-FOCUSEDYour equipment and conditions guide the discussion.
OPERATOR + TRAINERDevelop individual skills and internal capability.
MICHIGAN EXPERIENCETraining delivered across diverse facilities statewide.

Beyond the classroom

Family man first. Wayne enjoys designing, mentoring and the outdoors. The same curiosity, hands-on problem solving and focus on helping people that shape B-Ready are part of life beyond work as well.
