Excavator Safety: Operating and Spotting for Excavators Safety Training Video

This safety video program on Excavator Safety: Operating and Spotting for Excavators discusses how to prepare to operate an excavator and how to use one safely. It also provides practical guidance on how to act as a spotter for one 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 excavators. 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 program include:

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

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