Operator training for wheeled loading shovels — ITSSAR-accredited or in-house certified, delivered in-company on your own machine, for novice, experienced and refresher operators.
Loading shovel training is delivered in-company at three levels — choose by your operators’ experience.
Loading shovel training prepares operators to work a wheeled loading shovel safely and productively — loading, stockpiling and moving bulk materials. It is delivered in-company under PUWER, with an ITSSAR-accredited or KeyOstas in-house certificate on successful assessment.
The wheeled loading shovel is a powerful earthmoving and materials-handling machine. Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), employers must ensure operators are competent and adequately trained — and LOLER applies if the machine is used to lift. The course covers the machine, ground and site assessment, loading and stockpiling technique, and safe operation. KeyOstas delivers it in-company on your own loading shovel.
KeyOstas trains wheeled loading shovel operators at every level.
By the end of the course your operators will be able to work a wheeled loading shovel safely and productively.
