Our Equipment Training Team is pleased to announce that we held Level One Competent Operator Training for Host Terminals, in Davant, La. Friday, December 27, 2019. They had 10 operators present for the training on the 773F Off-Highway Truck. The Host family has been handling coal since the 1800s. While the ships have gotten a lot bigger, the tenants remain the same. As a firm, they’ve handled just about every product in just about every manner, from using state-of-the-art air slides to muscling through one million tons of dry bulk cargo. Their facility in Davant, La is handling the transfer of coal to and from ocean-going vessels and inland marine transport equipment.
Level One Competent Operator training is designed for entry-level students or untrained operators interested in or pursuing a career as a heavy equipment operator. Although these were not new operators, the 773F was recently introduced to their operation. This training will provide a base foundation for these operators to develop their skills to operate equipment safely and proficiently. Our focus during the class included, but was not limited to:
• Operator Safety Awareness
• Walk Around Inspections
• ISO Symbols
• Monitoring Systems
• Warning Categories and Operator Reactions
• Proper Start-Up and Shut Down Procedures
• Machine Controls
• Basic Operating Techniques
