About This Course
A garbage truck, also known as a refuse truck or waste collection vehicle, is a specialized vehicle designed to collect and transport waste materials from homes, businesses, and other locations to disposal or recycling facilities. Garbage trucks play a crucial role in municipal waste management systems, helping to keep communities clean and sanitary by removing and properly disposing of solid waste.
Operating a garbage truck involves inherent risks, including traffic accidents, injuries from lifting heavy waste bins, and exposure to hazardous materials. Proper training ensures that workers understand safety protocols, use personal protective equipment (PPE) correctly, and operate vehicles safely to prevent accidents and injuries.
Our Garbage Truck Safety Training course satisfies OSHA guidelines and features quiz questions along the way to help prepare you for the final exam. Participants will receive a certificate of completion to download or print upon finishing the course.
