This comprehensive training course teaches operators how to safely inspect, operate, maintain, and transport skid steer loaders in accordance with industry best practices. Participants learn how to recognize common hazards, use protective systems correctly, perform routine inspections, and safely work around pedestrians and other equipment on busy construction sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraining Objectives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter completing this course, learners will be able to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdentify the purpose and proper use of ROPS, FOPS, seat belts, and operator restraint systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintain machine stability by managing load height, weight distribution, and center of gravity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecognize skid steer blind spots and implement safe spotting and communication procedures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerform thorough pre-shift inspections of tires, tracks, hydraulic systems, and locking mechanisms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafely change attachments while relieving hydraulic pressure and verifying secure connections\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply proper loading, tie-down, and transportation procedures for skid steer equipment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduce the risk of rollovers, collisions, and struck-by incidents through safe operating practices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePromote a culture of safety and accountability on every job site\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCourse Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkid steer loaders are among the most versatile and productive machines found on construction sites, warehouses, landscaping projects, and industrial facilities. Their compact design and maneuverability allow operators to perform a wide variety of tasks, but these same characteristics also create unique safety risks when equipment is operated improperly or without adequate training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis course provides practical instruction on the safe operation of skid steer loaders while emphasizing hazard recognition, operator responsibility, and preventative maintenance. Participants learn how to safely enter and exit the cab, understand the importance of Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structures (FOPS), and properly use restraint systems designed to protect operators during unexpected incidents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe course explains how improper load handling, excessive travel speeds, and elevated attachments can quickly reduce machine stability and increase the risk of tip-overs. Learners discover why maintaining a low center of gravity and operating at safe speeds are essential when carrying materials across uneven terrain or working on slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial attention is given to pedestrian safety and the significant blind spots surrounding skid steer loaders. Operators learn effective communication techniques, the importance of designated spotters, and procedures for maintaining awareness of nearby workers throughout every phase of operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticipants also gain valuable maintenance knowledge by performing daily inspections of tires, tracks, hydraulic hoses, quick-attach systems, locking pins, and fluid levels. The course discusses hydraulic system hazards, including high-pressure fluid injection injuries, and demonstrates safe methods for identifying leaks and servicing equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the program covers the safe use of common attachments—including buckets, forks, augers, trenchers, and hydraulic tools—as well as proper loading, securement, and transportation practices that comply with applicable Department of Transportation (DOT) and cargo securement requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether operating a skid steer for the first time or reinforcing years of field experience, this training helps operators develop safe habits that protect themselves, their coworkers, and the equipment they use every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpanish and French closed captions are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReduces the risk of skid steer rollovers and struck-by incidents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReinforces safe operating habits for all experience levels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproves hazard recognition and situational awareness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDemonstrates proper inspection and preventative maintenance procedures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovers safe attachment installation and removal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplains hydraulic safety and pressure hazards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupports OSHA safety training initiatives\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEncourages a proactive workplace safety culture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCourse Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCourse Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 Minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e English, Spanish, French\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e AT262\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosed Captions:\u003c\/strong\u003e English, Spanish, French\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Downloadable participant guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Streaming video on-demand with training license\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLMS Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with most Learning Management Systems (LMS) or available through our hosted LMS platform\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear Produced:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is licensing calculated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLicensing is based on the total number of learners who will access the course during the license period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I train more than 250 employees?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes.
