Course overview
According to Decree-Law 50/2005, self-propelled work equipment may only be operated by properly trained personnel. This course responds to this legal requirement by providing essential safety knowledge related to the driving and operation of lifting, loading and unloading machinery. The training does not aim to teach how to maneuver equipment, but rather to ensure that operators and personnel working in the vicinity of machinery understand safety rules, operating procedures, risks and preventive measures. The course contributes to accident reduction while improving productivity in operational environments.
