VISTA Training Launches Pair of Introduction Programs to Equipment Online Training Modules

VISTA Training Inc. has launched two new training modules as part of its growing, cost-effective Silver Series: Heavy Equipment — Intro & Safety and Heavy Equipment — Pre-Use Inspection. These web-based training modules are designed to help educate trainees who are new to the fields of construction and mining, and are prerequisites for the rest of the modules in the Silver Series.

The Silver Series gives equipment owners convenient access to task-focused training on many types of heavy machinery, on demand. These affordable modules are designed to help trainees to become proficient and safe equipment operators, and make it easy for equipment owners to schedule training when and where it’s most convenient for them. They’re also ideal for smaller companies that may only need to train a handful of new operators per year.

“As skilled equipment operators age and retire, a growing percentage of young people are now entering the construction and mining industries and have little or no previous experience operating machinery,” explains Bruce Rabe, CEO of VISTA Training Inc. “That has created the need for a series of basic training modules that help them understand the types of equipment they may encounter on a typical work site, how these machines work and interact, and common safety hazards to be aware of when working around them.”
