Heavy Equipment Essentials
Our program at C&R Safety Training Solutions is designed for persons operating heavy equipment in on-site specific workplaces. The training will cover a combination of on-the-job and classroom training. The operator/trainee must pass the classroom training and written test as well as pass a demonstration of skills such as operating a front-end loader, backhoe, excavator, bulldozer, skid-steer and crawlers on-site demonstrating a pre-equipment inspection, start-up procedures, safe operation, and shut down procedures.
