A telescopic handler, also known as a telehandler or rough terrain forklift, can be challenging to operate. As its boom and load extends farther from the operator's compartment, this type of machine can become very unstable. Extending the loaded boom also decreases the machine's lifting capacity. On top of these factors, telehandlers often work on uneven ground, which can contribute to instability. That is why it is critical that telehandler operators are trained in the safe, productive operation of these versatile machines. It can also go by the name of teleporter, reach forklift, or boom lift. It is often used in the construction industry for lifting pallets and moving heavy loads to high areas. During this course, we will discuss the telehandler and the important role it plays on the jobsite. And, we will provide you with the knowledge to help reduce operating and maintenance costs.   Author Vista Training Duration: 2 Hours Access: 90 Days Category: Operations Level: Specialize Version:  v3.1.1H5 Overall Course Specifications: Estimated length of training program: 1 – 2 hours + final test Number of test questions: 20 Printable Certificate of Completion: Yes Final Exam Feedback report: Yes   Need to train a team?

Skid steer loaders are indispensable machines on any jobsite. They are valuable because of their versatility. They are compact and mobile, getting into places where larger equipment cannot fit. They use a wide range of attachments from brushes to buckets to augers, which allow them to clean sidewalks, remove snow, move earth, carry logs and dig trenches, fence posts and footings. Skid steers can even be outfitted with tracks that improve their flotation. That means they can work in muddy conditions and on grass surfaces without tearing up the ground. Skid steers can do a tremendous amount of work in the hands of a skilled operator. They can also do a great amount of damage and cause injury if not handled with care and respect. What they do is up to one person: the operator. This skid steer training program shows your trainees how to be safe and productive when operating one of these versatile machines in construction and mining applications.   Author Vista Training   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 Version: v2.1.1H5 Read More

Traducción al español La traducción de este curso al español ha sido auspiciada por Goldcorp Central America.  Introducción En este curso se discuten los principios y prácticas del manejo de aguas superficiales en minas. Se describen las mejores prácticas del manejo de aguas superficiales en minas para poder cumplir con los siguientes objetivos: Objetivos Todas las minas alteran la superficie. Todas las minas cambian las características del sitio que afectan los escurrimientos pluviales, la evaporación, el caudal de los arroyos y la erosión. Todas las minas requieren la nivelación del terreno, la desviación de escurrimientos y la colocación de desechos que aumentan o disminuyen la infiltración de las aguas superficiales a las aguas subterráneas. Es inevitable en las minas la necesidad de capturar y controlar sedimentos y otros contaminantes en las aguas superficiales, así como la construcción y operación de obras necesarias para cumplir con los reglamentos relacionados al impacto fuera del sitio de las aguas superficiales que salen de las minas.Por lo tanto, este curso está dirigido a todas las personas dentro de la minería o asociadas a ella que puedan estar involucradas o tener responsabilidad por las obras de ingeniería hidrológica, hidráulica, ambiental, civil o minera necesarias para el manejo de aguas superficiales en minas.   Author Jack Caldwell P.E., MS.(Eng.), LLB   Duration 12 Hours Access 90 Days Category Geotechnics Level Specialize Version Date June 26, 2012 Need to train a team?
