Instructors for construction machinery will be trained in three days

As a construction machinery instructor, you are qualified to train and further educate operators of construction machinery both within your own company and externally, as well as to administer the corresponding examinations. You will also be responsible for conducting the annual safety training for construction machinery. You will acquire the necessary qualifications at the LTS Academy in a three-day course based on DGUV Principle 301-005.

Construction machinery, also known as construction equipment, refers to stationary, semi-mobile, or fully mobile machines used for processing building materials and transporting construction supplies, e.g.:

  • Earthmoving equipment

  • Suction dredger

  • Drilling and diaphragm wall equipment

  • Machines for transporting and processing concrete and mortar

  • Piling and pulling equipment

  • Equipment used in road construction

  • Sewer and pipeline construction equipment.

These versatile, motorized machines are used in both the main and ancillary construction trades, for example in mining, agriculture, landfill operations, and many other industrial sectors. The employer must always ensure that they are operated exclusively by suitable, trained, and adult personnel with proof of competence.

Whether hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, or mini excavators – do you also use construction machinery in your company and would like to train the operators yourself in the future? Then you should complete the instructor training course for construction machinery at the LTS Academy. Here you can find out more about the content, duration, and participation requirements.
