Skid-Steer Operator Training
From Heavy Equipment Operator Training
OSHA’s subpart C for General Safety and Health provisions require skid-steer operators to be trained under 1926.21(b)(2) and 1926.20(b)(4) requirements. The employer is required to train Bobcat and Skid-Steer operators so that they can recognize and avoid unsafe conditions. Training needs to be comprehensive enough to help assure that the operator is fully capable of safely handling the equipment in the type of conditions encountered at the site. Experience is not sufficient and does not make an employee qualified to be an operator.
