Hydraulic-operated machinery is crucial in construction, but many builders are unaware of the dangers they pose. This web-based course educates builders on the potential risks of working with or near hydraulic machinery.
Hydraulic-operated machinery is vital in the construction industry, yet many builders are oblivious to the potential hazards. Incidents related to hydraulics can result in crushing injuries, fractures, dislocations, lacerations, punctures, amputations, burns, and fluid injection. In addition to physical harm and fatalities, hydraulic failures can lead to environmental harm through leakages, as well as damage to property and machinery due to fire or mechanical breakdown.
