SKID LOADER SAFETY HANDLING TECHNIQUE

INTRODUCTION SKID LOADER SAFETY HANDLING TECHNIQUE

The Skid Loader Safety Handling Technique training program is designed to provide participants with comprehensive knowledge and hands-on skills for operating skid steer loaders safely and efficiently. Skid steer loaders are powerful and versatile machines used in construction, agriculture, manufacturing, and maintenance work. However, their compact size and maneuverability can also pose significant risks if not handled properly.

This course emphasizes practical safety practices, operational awareness, and behavioral-based safety techniques to ensure participants are fully prepared to identify hazards, prevent accidents, and maintain control of the machine in various workplace conditions. Through both theory and practical sessions, participants will gain a deep understanding of machine characteristics, driving techniques, safety procedures, and maintenance checks.

By focusing on safe handling, defensive operation, and adherence to standard procedures, the training aims to reduce workplace accidents and improve overall safety culture. This program is ideal for organizations that prioritize employee safety, equipment longevity, and operational excellence.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basic operation and characteristics of skid steer loaders.

• Identify potential hazards and apply preventive measures to avoid accidents.

• Demonstrate safe driving techniques in various workplace environments.

• Conduct pre-operational inspections and apply proper PPE and SOP in all operations.

• Recognize the importance of behavioral-based safety and defensive operation to minimize risks.

• Apply the principles of HIRARC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control) in daily operations.

This program combines classroom learning with practical on-site sessions, ensuring participants can confidently perform safe and effective skid steer loader operations.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This training is suitable for:

• Machine operators and technicians who are directly involved in handling skid steer loaders.
