If you rent construction equipment, you probably understand the cost-saving benefits. You're probably also aware that there is nothing more costly than a worksite injury. You can't guarantee an injury-free worksite, but you can do a lot to mitigate the risks.
Having properly trained equipment operators is one the best ways to avoid disaster on a worksite. When you avoid injuries, you keep your project on schedule and stay in compliance with OSHA regulations. Duke Rentals understands how important equipment safety training is, and that's why we offer equipment safety training for our customers.
Why Invest in Safety Training?
Knowing your equipment operators are certified and trained gives you peace of mind. Reducing the chances of dealing with a project shutdown from injury and avoiding possibly disastrous litigation is a great return on investment. In addition, an OSHA violation can be costly and hurt your reputation. Other big benefits of equipment safety training include:
- Less Downtime – Machines break when operators don’t use them properly. Avoid costly repairs and downtime by only letting trained operators run your equipment.
- Reduce Accidents – Being aware of how your machine moves in space keeps job sites safe.
- More Efficiency – Trained operators know how to best use the equipment to get the job done safely and efficiently.
