Find answers to frequently asked questions about skid steer safety training, ensuring your operators are well-prepared and compliant with safety regulations.
The biggest safety concerns for skid steers include rollovers, tip-overs, and collisions due to the equipment's high center of gravity and compact size. Entrapment between the skid steer and attachments or other objects is also a risk, as is operating the machine on uneven surfaces.
Operators must be cautious of pinch points, falling debris, and the potential for being crushed by the lift arms. Proper training, use of seatbelts, and regular maintenance are essential for minimizing these hazards.
A skid steer rollover occurs when the machine tips or flips over, usually due to its high center of gravity and compact size. Rollovers can happen if the skid steer is operated on uneven or sloped surfaces, if it carries an unbalanced load, or if it turns too quickly at high speeds.
Rollovers pose a significant risk to operators, making it crucial to follow proper safety procedures, such as wearing a seatbelt, avoiding sharp turns, and ensuring balanced loads to prevent accidents.
