About

A snowblower, also known as a snow thrower, is a motorized machine used to clear snow from driveways, walkways, and other surfaces. It works by picking up snow using an auger or impeller mechanism and expelling it through a chute to a designated area. Snowblowers come in various types, including single-stage, two-stage, and three-stage models, each designed for different snow-clearing needs.

Our snowblower safety training is OSHA-aligned and essential for anyone operating these machines to ensure personal safety, prevent injuries, protect property, and comply with regulatory requirements. This course includes practice quiz questions to help prepare you for the final exam and includes a printable certificate upon completion.
