Course Description

This course provides in-depth training for machine operators that adheres to CAN/CSA B354.4-02 (R2013). Students receive theory and practical instruction on the safe operation of machinery, applicable Health and Safety Act requirements, Ministry of Labour Regulations, accident prevention, safe handling of materials, loads and stability, and operational controls. Understanding travel restraint systems and options for equipment are discussed and practiced during practical training

(Regulation for Construction Projects O. Reg. 213/91, s.148 (e)). This guideline recommends the use of a full body harness at all times when working on a platform.
