Description
The Earthmoving Equipment course covers the key risks associated with working around earthmoving equipment on construction sites. Learners will explore how to read a work zone, recognize changing conditions, and understand the shared responsibilities between employers and employees for maintaining a safe jobsite. Topics include equipment danger zones, pre-use inspections, machine guarding, load ratings, roadway and grade safety, and power line clearance. Through real-world scenarios, an interactive VR simulation, and a short quiz, learners will build the awareness and confidence to make safer decisions on the jobsite.
Drawn from OSHA Standard: 1926.20 - .21, .178, .300, .550, .600 - .602, and industry best practices.
An interactive simulation is included. Earthmoving equipment is essential on the jobsite, but the hazards surrounding it can be deadly if you're not paying attention. In this simulation, you'll explore an active work environment to identify common dangers associated with heavy machinery and learn how to protect yourself and those around you.
You can access the simulation using a screen reader, computer, mobile device, or a Quest VR headset.
