Operator Training

Regardless of how much you invest in maintaining and servicing your fleet, if your operators aren’t up to speed on the latest techniques and skills necessary for the safe operation of equipment, your employees, your fleet and ultimately your business can pay a heavy price.

As a matter of fact, according to the Journal of Safety Research, backhoes and trucks are responsible for approximately half of worksite fatalities. And for both heavy equipment operators as well as farm workers, rollovers are the leading cause of job-related deaths.

The good news is that with Cat® Productivity Services, you can choose from various educational formats to get your operators the Caterpillar® Operator Training they need to hone their skills and reach their full potential. And as anyone who has been around enough worksites knows, with the proper training and confidence to safely operate heavy machinery, operators can accomplish more, boost overall productivity and save your company from costly mishaps.

When it comes to potential savings, heavy equipment operator training has an ROI that’s hard to beat. Especially since the Bureau of Labor Statistics annually records nearly 100,000 private-sector injuries related to machinery operation, with a quarter of those incidents resulting in 30 or more lost days of work. In addition to lost productivity and higher insurance costs, accidents due to inadequate training can also have an unseen cost on your company’s overall morale as well as its ability to recruit new talent.
