The Heavy Machinery Training course was designed to provide participants with the required basic skills, practicality and knowledge of the functional safety associated with the operation of heavy equipment. In addition, the course will cover areas on how to avoid injuries and accidents by training operators on required safety procedures such as how to inspect before and after the use of equipment, making the work environment safe.

Whenever a confined space job, critical welding job, is carried out, or any other type of critical job is ongoing, the team meets and nominates another worker who is competent and qualified to act as a Standby man. This Standby man must be properly equipped to carry out the supporting duties and responsibilities of a standby person without any hindrance as the fate of all the team members rest on him. A Standby man monitors the internal and external activities ?in and around? the ongoing job such as when working in a confined space. He is stationed at the entry point of the confined space monitoring thejob and to sound the alarm in case of any emergency.

Respirators protect workers by preventing exposures to harmful airborne chemical and biological agents. However, a respirator that is not used properly will fail to provide adequate protection, and may even cause certain hazardous conditions A respirator is one type of control often selected when ventilation controls such as local exhaust or enclosure are not feasible or sufficient.

Unsecured or inadequately secured loads pose a safety risk and could cause injury and even death. This training will provide the proper procedures and instructions on how to secure loads, equipment and tools on heavy vehicles safely. In addition, the course will ensure educating participants on the proper methods to inspect the securing tools, and lifting equipment.

Work Permit System helps prevent incidents and accidents. It requires a thorough review of work tasks and job site conditions before hazardous work task can begin. The work permit is an essential tool of the Work Permit System that identifies and documents the hazards and precautions of a specific work activity or a Restricted Area so the work can be done safely. The work permit is an official record of the specific work process and the agreed conditions and minimum safety precautions to be followed during the work. This course essentially introduces the Work Permit System and the work permits used to control hazardous work activities or processes in Restricted Areas. Work can remain safe only if the person prepare the job properly, follow the safety precautions, and have qualified supervision. This course will highlight how it is important to agree to the minimum safety precautions (controls), and maintain them to ensure co-workers are focused on preventing incidents that can lead to equipment damage, injuries, or loss of life.
