Course Overview
Our Scrap & Material Handler training course is regulation compliant, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. Each class contains sections on anatomy and inspection, stability, safe operations, and common hazards.
During this training, we will be taking a look at the anatomy of the scrap and material handler. We will discuss general components you should check during a pre-shift inspection. Then, we will cover some stability principles for you to keep in mind as you operate the machine.
Next, we will talk about safe operating principles as they relate to your machine and your worksite. Finally, we will go over the common hazards that come with working in or around scrap handlers. We will read some investigated accident profiles to see real-life examples of when operators ignored safe operating principles.
This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical exam as required by OSHA.
