Safety Orientation For Heavy Manufacturing – This program is an overview of your safety responsibilities to help you perform your job safely.

The most important safety feature is the operator's knowledge of how to use, inspect, and maintain the equipment. Safety around hoisting equipment is extremely important because one little mistake can be disastrous.
