Train and educate employees
as to ACPA & OSHA regulations
Operator training is a lifetime job; it never
ends. Most, but not all, operators are sent out on their
own with less than a full understanding of the total requirements
and dangers of their new vocation. I am sure that given
an open ended budget and an infinite amount of time all
new operators would be fully trained prior to being required
to being part of the ‘solution’. Many hard lessons
are learned on the job, where, if they and the company are
very lucky, they do not turn into a big expense. Helping
these people know and understand the legal limits and requirements
of their job will enhance company profits. An on the job
explanation or demonstration for some nuance of the ACPA
and OSHA rules usually results in a much better understanding
of the need and benefit of them. I have trained no less
than 100 operators in the safe, proper operation of concrete
pumps.
