objectivesFrom building roads to long-shoring operations, construction workers often rely on heavy equipment on the job site. OSHA 29 CFR 1926, Subpart O for Motor Vehicles and Mechanized Equipment, and Marine Operations addresses the dangers posed by these vehicles and machines to ensure that employees stay safe on the job when motorized equipment is required. The Subpart O: Motor Vehicles, Mechanized Equipment course from OSHA Education School explains safe work practices and regulations for motorized and heavy equipment used in construction and marine operations to help reduce risk and minimize injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.
During the Subpart O: Motor Vehicles, Mechanized Equipment course students will learn more about how to stay safe on construction or marine job sites in the presence of vehicles and heavy machinery. Course topics include:
General safety requirements for construction and marine worksites
Common equipment, including earthmoving, pile driving, and site clearing equipment, sonic guided grading systems, Jacob’s ladders, and boom hoist cables
The health dangers associated with dust, including pneumoconiosis
Dust control
Fugitive dust
Safety equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE) and rollover protective structures (ROPS)
The role of an OSHA Qualified Person
Course participants will also have access to definitions for key terms and case studies to reinforce learning.
descriptionConstruction workers frequently rely on heavy equipment on the working site, from building roads to long-shoring activities. OSHA 29 CFR 1926, Subpart O for Motor Vehicles and Mechanized Equipment, and Marine Operations, covers the risks posed by these vehicles and machinery in order to guarantee employee safety when motorised equipment is necessary. The OSHA Education School's Subpart O: Motor Vehicles, Mechanized Equipment course discusses safe work practises and standards for motorised and heavy equipment used in construction and maritime activities, with the goal of reducing risk and preventing injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. Students will get a better understanding of how to be safe on construction and maritime job sites when automobiles and heavy machinery are present.
