Course Description:
The highest cost for all local and state agencies in Colorado is their employees. Between employee pay, cost of benefits, and the equipment that is required for employees to do their job, organizations require preventive maintenance on equipment to ensure that it runs correctly and safely. Similarly, employees need to remember safety protocols while performing daily tasks and the necessary steps required to protect themselves and their coworkers.
Safety is the responsibility and concern of everyone in an organization. This course should be attended by all employees working in the field, as well as supervisors and managers.
This class is a pre-requisite for all Colorado LTAP Heavy Equipment Operations classes (such as Motor Grader and Loader).
Learning Objectives:
This class covers multiple safety areas that employees will encounter through the day. At a minimum, participants will have detailed understanding of:
- Safe working conditions
- Proper use of tools and equipment
