Heavy Equipment Safety Training Course

Construction workers engage in many activities that may expose them to serious hazards on the worksite such as operating and being struck by heavy construction equipment. This course covers the safe operation of heavy equipment such as excavators, loaders, graders, rollers, and bulldozers, which should always be done by highly skilled operators who have demonstrated the ability and necessary skills to operate safely. Unsafe practices by either the operator or those around the equipment can create very dangerous situations.

Heavy Equipment Basics, Types of Heavy Equipment, Heavy Equipment Hazards, Engineering Controls and Work Practices, Materials Falling From Vehicles, Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM), Respiratory Hazards, Noise and Hearing Protection, Hazardous Chemicals, Servicing Multi-Piece Rim Wheels, Heat and Cold Stress, Equipment Operator Safety, Signal Persons and Spotters, Crane and Operations Safety Measures, Safety Measures for Asphalt Paving Operations, Work Zone Safety and Traffic Control, and High Visibility Safety Apparel and Headwear.
