BULLDOZER TRAINING FOR SAFETY

Safety should always be the top priority of any Bulldozer Operator, as getting the job done can only happen when accidents are avoided. For this reason, it’s critical that a bulldozer operator always know their surroundings, and they follow proper operator protocols.

OSHA REQUIREMENTS FOR BULLDOZER OPERATORS

While OSHA does not require a Bulldozer Operator certification, it does, however, require that employers provide their employees with the proper instruction to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions along with the regulations applicable to the specific work environment to prevent any hazards that puts the employees’ wellbeing at risk. (29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2)) Furthermore, employers are only to permit fully trained and competent employees to operate heavy equipment, aside from training purposes. (29 CFR 1910.178(l), 29 CFR 1926.602(d))
