Heavy Equipment Operation and Safety Online 

Time

Do you work on, or near, heavy equipment like backhoes, skidsteers, or articulated dump trucks? Then this safety training is for you!

Delivered entirely online, this live, instructor-led course focuses on working safely with — and around — the heavy equipment used in public-works and utility operations, from backhoes and excavators to loaders, skid steers, and motor graders. Rather than teaching a single machine, it builds the safety knowledge every operator, spotter, and nearby worker needs to prevent serious accidents on the job site.

Participants review real public-sector equipment accidents and the OSHA standards behind them, learn to set up safe internal and external work zones, and study the imperative safety rules for operators, spotters, and pedestrian workers. The course also covers equipment orientation, site and ground conditions, protective systems, special operation tasks, and the pre-job inspections and briefings that keep crews safe.  Register for this free course today!
