Excavator Safety

Course Overview

Running heavy equipment safely takes more than strength, it requires knowledge, focus, and responsibility. Excavators are among the most powerful tools on a job site, but with that power comes significant risk if they’re not handled correctly. This training program provides proven safety strategies designed to protect operators, coworkers, and the machine itself. Our focus is on crawler excavators, those large tracked units widely used in construction, roadwork, landscaping, and utility projects. Equipped with hydraulic booms and buckets, they’re essential to many industries but can be dangerous without proper instruction.

This course is built for beginner operators, seasoned tradespeople needing a refresher, foremen, and anyone who works in close proximity to crawler excavators. It’s designed to strengthen both safety awareness and on-the-job performance.
