Description
Working in construction can be dangerous, especially when working with or around heavy equipment. Heavy equipment at a site includes items such as cranes, dump trucks, excavators, bulldozers, and many other types of large machines used on construction sites.
Heavy equipment is used for many different kinds of work and is very effective for the job they are designed to carry out; however, they can also be very dangerous if proper controls aren’t implemented.
The hazards associated with heavy machinery does not only include those who operate the machines, but also those that work around them.
Our heavy equipment toolbox talk helps keep employees safe and reduce health and safety issues in workplaces where heavy equipment are used to carry out work.
