DESCRIPTION:Please note: you must attend the entire training to receive a certificate of completion. \nCourse Summary:\nThis comprehensive\, hands-on training course provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills for safely operating and working around dump trucks\, forklifts\, motor graders\, and skid steers. The course covers equipment orientation\, work zone setup (both internal and external)\, and critical safety practices for operators and pedestrian workers. Participants will also learn key principles of vehicle operation\, load securement\, inspection procedures\, and the use of pre-trip and pre-job checklists to ensure safe and efficient operations. \nThrough a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on activities\, attendees will gain experience in safe equipment operation\, including traveling with loads\, working on inclines\, managing high-level stowage\, and navigating various job site conditions such as loading docks and temporary traffic control zones. Emphasis is placed on hazard awareness\, proper equipment use\, and best practices for maintaining safe\, productive work environments across a variety of construction and transportation settings. \nLearning Objectives:\nBy the end of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nList the 12 absolute rules operators must obey.\nUse checklists to ensure equipment is operating safely.\nUse site safety practices and recognize warning signs.\nIdentify various pieces of heavy equipment by the features of each piece of equipment.\nEliminate bad driving habits while operating heavy equipment.\nUnderstand the placement and use of cones\, barricades\, caution tape and other barriers.\nAssess proper direction of travel based on the load\, acceptable approach angles\, travel within delineated lines\, and the correct use of spotters.\n\nPrerequisites:\nNone. \nTarget Audience:\nThis course is designed for tribal DOT\, municipal public works\, parks\, streets/roads\, water\, wastewater\, distribution/collection and/or storm water utility workers or any other tribal entity employees who may be called on to operate the equipment featured in this course. \nThis training is also recommended for emergency alternate personnel who may be called on to use the equipment in special circumstances\, such as after a natural disaster or any other reason where no other operators are available.
