Heavy Equipment Operator Training
As stated by the HSE, you must select and install equipment properly, use it carefully and ensure it is maintained to protect the health and safety of yourself, employees and others who may be affected by the way you use it.
Sensible risk assessment is the key, following the manufacturer’s recommendations for use and maintenance and ensuring employees are trained and competent. This includes taking reasonable steps to ensure new work equipment complies with the relevant legal requirements for safe design and construction. You must not use or permit the use of unsafe work equipment.
