Incidents involving mobile and mechanized equipment often result in severe, life altering injuries—especially when equipment, pedestrians, and contractors share the same workspace. These risks are not limited to traditional heavy machinery and frequently involve equipment such as riding lawn mowers, skid steers, and mini excavators whose hazards may be underestimated. 

This webinar provides practical, field tested strategies for managing risks associated with all forms of mobile equipment. Participants will explore common incident types, including struck by, rollover, runover, and backing events. We will review best practices, equipment safety features, inspection, and maintenance. The session also addresses site planning, operator qualification, lone work, and rental equipment challenges. Designed for business owners, supervisors, and safety professionals this webinar delivers actionable guidance to strengthen equipment safety programs.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the hazards presented by mobile equipment regardless of size. 
2. Explore the primary safety features on common heavy equipment and implement an inspection protocol that verifies equipment is in proper operating condition. 
3. Recognize controls (site traffic plans, mobile equipment programs, pedestrian protection, safe-backing procedures) to reduce rollover and struck-by catastrophic workplace events.
4. Identify safe operator best practices to prevent rollaway/runover injuries and evaluate operator proficiency.
