Dig up some excavator essentials

'Excavator Safety - the Essential Guide', the latest DVD video release from Paragon Training, addresses the essential aspects of working safely with all types and sizes of excavators.

The programme demonstrates prestart checks and basic maintenance, basic trenching, ascending and descending gradients, safe tipper loading and an overview of the safe operation of quick-hitch attachments.

This programme is aimed at contractors, owners and operators of excavators. Employers, managers, supervisors and others concerned with planning, organising and supervising work using excavators will also find this programme useful.

The DVD has a screen menu giving the user access to eight separate sections covering a range of safe working practices.
