Backhoe Safety: Operating and Spotting for a Backhoe Safety Training Video

This safety video program on Backhoe Safety: Operating and Spotting for a Backhoe discusses how to prepare to operate a backhoe and how to use one safely. It also provides practical guidance on how to act as a spotter for a backhoe while keeping yourself, the operator, and others in the area safe.

Many job sites use heavy equipment to help haul, dig, and transport materials. They make jobs more efficient, but they can also make them more dangerous. In fact, construction workers frequently suffer injuries while operating or spotting for a backhoe. But it doesn’t have to be that way because there are ways for workers to anticipate and navigate these hazards safely.

Areas covered in the safety video program include:

• preparing to operate a backhoe,
• operating a backhoe,
• being a spotter for a backhoe operator, and more.

The safety video program comes with a quiz, a scheduling and attendance form, a training certificate, and an employee training log.
