IN THE USE OF CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Training Code: TRA-010-FO

The Goal of Education
This training aims to ensure the safe operation and proper maintenance of construction equipment, and to prevent accidents. Participants will learn risk factors, operator responsibilities, and safe working procedures for each type of equipment.
Machine Groups and Modules
Construction machinery is classified into the following four basic groups:
Lifting Group Construction Machinery (Tower Crane, Mobile Crane and Forklift/Telehandler)
Soil Group Construction Machinery (Excavators, Loaders, Dozers, Graders, Rollers, Drilling, Piling and Drilling Machines)
Concrete Group Construction Machinery (Mobile Pump, Stationary Pump, Concrete Mixer and Distributor Boom)
Production Facilities (Concrete Plant, Mechanical Plant and Crushing-Screening Plant)
Program Content
Each group of construction equipment is discussed under the following topics.
Roles and responsibilities
Technical specifications and standards of machines
Risks and safe working techniques
Ground conditions and controls
Assessment of balance and capacities
Ensuring environmental safety
Working under traffic, field traffic and machinery transportation
Overhead power lines, electrical systems and lightning hazards
Mechanical Hazards
Installation, replacement and dismantling activities
Maintenance and repair operations
Periodic controls and inspections
Emergencies and preparations
Accidents and incidents that have occurred
Duration of Education
4 hours for each machine group, 16 hours in total
Reference Standards
Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment, ISO & BS Standards
Education Method
Training is conducted using visual materials, simulations, field video analysis, and group work. Participants evaluate safe operating practices through case scenarios.
