Introduction Many types of mobile equipment are available for use by employees and contractors doing a wide variety of work. Many if not all of these machines, have to operate within close proximity to persons on foot. They all however, present similar types of known Hazards. This training is designed to identify and hopefully better educate those who must work around or operate these types of equipment, since they all possess the capability to cause serious injury of death.
