Wheel/Track loaders and Backhoe/Excavators
OHSA Reg 851-213-854
Skid-steer, articulating, straight frame, backhoes and excavators require operator due diligence at all times.
Whether the operator is new or experienced, ongoing training is required. As with all types of powered equipment, accidents can have serious repercussions.
Because of the numerous types of equipment and the variations of controls, it is essential that operators are trained on the job with their own piece of equipment and in their own working environment. Different soil densities and gradients need to be taken into consideration at all times.
