Backhoe Safety... How They Work and Their Hazards DVD Program (#VCST4609EM)

Many jobsites 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 working around backhoes. But it doesn’t have to be that way… because there are ways for workers to anticipate and navigate these hazards safely.

MARCOM's course on "Backhoe Safety… How They Work and Their Hazards" discusses how backhoes operate as well as what hazards are associated with working around them. It also provides practical guidance on how to keep a backhoe stable while operating one.

Topics covered in this course include:

• Understanding backhoes
• Keeping backhoes stable
• Backhoe hazards
