Why do this course?
Front end loaders are versatile machines that can be extremely useful for agricultural and civil construction work. However, they are potentially dangerous if not used correctly.
If not operated correctly the front end loader can overturn, particularly when the loader is raised or terrain is uneven or loose. The loader can also contact power lines, loads can slip off, attachments can come loose, and the machine can strike or crush bystanders, all of which can cause injuries and fatalities.
If you are using a front end loader at work, you need to be able to demonstrate that you have been properly trained and formally assessed.
This course is necessary for anyone who operates a front end loader as part of their work routines.
