ADVANCE YOUR CAREER

The purpose of this course is to introduce trainees – particularly those people who have had little or no previous exposure to mining – to key pieces of heavy equipment most often used on mine sites and large construction projects. These work sites are busy places and may expose workers to a variety of hazards and dangers. Trainees need to have a clear understanding of how these machines work and interact, and common safety hazards to be aware of when working around them. It is usually a prerequisite to most other equipment courses.   Author Vista Training   Duration: 2 Hours Access: 90 Days Category: Operations Level: Specialize Version: v1.0.6H5           Overall Course Specifications Estimated length of training program: 1- 2 hours + final test Number of test questions: 26 Printable Certificate of Completion: Yes Final Exam Feedback report: Yes   Need to train a team?
