Operating a Front-End Loader Safely

Front-end loader operators are responsible for protecting themselves and their coworkers. In addition to the federal regulations, operators and their supervisors must be aware of provincial or territorial requirements. They must also follow the instructions provided by equipment manufacturers, and any applicable company policies.
After taking this online course, the operator will be capable of describing the components, controls, safety features and applications of a front-end loader. The knowledge required for safe operation includes:

  • Pre-start inspection and maintenance requirements
  • Safety requirements
  • Starting, warmup, shutdown and refueling
  • Basic maneuvers, earthmoving, leveling, stockpiling and loading trucks
  • Importance of vehicle orientation when loading and unloading
  • Travelling loaded and unloaded
  • Operating safely with ramps and inclined surfaces
  • Keeping the vehicle stable

Front-end loader operators must also be capable of identifying hazards, which may change depending on the worksite and application. Operators must also be aware of pedestrians and other equipment, since an accidental contact can cause severe injuries or material damage. Having an adequate rescue plan is also necessary. Preventative maintenance is critical for the safe operation of front-end loaders. Even with a highly skilled operator, there can be accidents if the hydraulic system or another key component suffers a malfunction.
