    Front End Loader Safety (US)

    Course Overview

    This Front End Loader Safety Training course equips operators with the essential knowledge required to handle wheel loaders safely on the job. Often called scoops, shovels, bucket loaders, or payloaders, these machines are capable of significant lifting and earthmoving work, but misuse can result in serious injuries or fatal rollovers.

    Throughout the course, learners explore the fundamentals of safe operation, including machine structure, hazard recognition, inspection steps, and stability principles. The material also covers practical operating techniques and worksite considerations to help operators make sound decisions in dynamic environments. By completing this training, learners gain crucial skills to prevent equipment damage, avoid injuries, and promote a safer worksite.
