At the summit of Mount Everest, oxygen levels are about 33% of what we breathe at sea level. In many confined spaces, oxygen levels can drop below 19.5%, which is oxygen deficient and immediately dangerous!   And here’s the critical part: You don’t have to be 29,000...

In fall protection, “That Looks Strong Enough” Isn’t a Safety Plan!   Here’s what matters: Must meet OHS regulations or engineered specs Attached to a structurally sound surface Positioned overhead when possible (to reduce swing falls) Designed and rated for fall...

Instructors LOVE questions! The more specific, the better. “Do I need fall protection at this height?” “How often should forklift inspections be done?” “What’s the biggest mistake people make in confined spaces?” We’ve heard it all, and we’re ready for more! Welcome...

When you swap a telehandler attachment, you’re not just changing the tool, you’re changing the machine’s load capacity.   Buckets, forks, jibs, and grapples all modify: • Capacity • Load center • Stability   Translation? That 6,000-lb lift might not be 6,000 lbs...

Forklifts won’t tell you a load is too heavy, your view is blocked, or that turn was a bad idea. That responsibility always falls on the operator. So keep your head in the game!   Hands-on, engaging training matters. When operators learn how to spot hazards,...

Love your beard… but your respirator doesn’t!   Tight fitting respirators depend on a secure seal against the skin to work properly. Facial hair, even light stubble, can interfere with that seal. A poor seal reduces protection and allows contaminants to leak in....

When people think about fall hazards, they often picture roofs or scaffolding. Bucket trucks are sometimes overlooked, even though falls remain one of the leading causes of serious injury in elevated work.   Fall hazards in bucket truck operations can include: •...

Most first aid moments aren’t dramatic. They’re everyday situations where knowing what to do makes all the difference.   First aid is: • Treating a burn • Stopping bleeding • Recognizing a concussion • Helping someone who’s overheated or faint   Preparedness isn’t...

Thanks to their compact design and powerful torque, skid steers have a higher center of gravity than many operators realize. Quick turns, uneven terrain, or carrying a raised load can shift the machine’s balance in seconds. Sometimes before there’s time to react!  ...
