BACKHOE LOADER TRAINING

Course Title: BACKHOE LOADER OPERATOR Location: On-site (at customer’s location) Course Description: Backhoe Safety Training can be tailored for any level of experience or geared to provide evaluations for more experienced operators. It covers safety aspects, preventive maintenance, operating techniques, and proper procedures for using loader backhoes in both classroom and hands-on simulations. Backhoe training is progressive as the instructor will introduce general maneuvers and those of increased difficulty and complexity. A Bianchi Group Instructor will visit your location to provide employee training and/or conduct field evaluations of each operator. Participants will be directed to attempt and practice simulations to demonstrate their understanding of loader-backhoe operation. Program content can be adjusted to meet particular issues or concerns, and the instructor will personally assist individuals with sticking points. Small group sizes and/or muliple machines are recommended to maintain student/machine ratios consistent with our quality standards. Backhoe(s) must be available for this training. Customers receive class rosters and course evaluations. Participants receive a wallet card 'certificate of completion' and a copy of our proprietary BACKHOE TRAINING BOOK.

Attention Managers:
Liability exposure is elevated by not employing competent operators and maintaining proof of such competence. A competent individual is one who has the knowledge, experience, and training to safely and effectively perform their duties. Experience alone or hand-me-down knowledge does not replace the foundational aspects of formal training and operator evaluations.
