Training Objectives

Evaluate hazards from exceeding load capacities

Execute safe loading and weight distribution practices

Course Overview

Every surface and piece of equipment in a workplace has weight limits, whether specified by manufacturers or building codes.

This training explains the risks associated with overloading, emphasizing that even loads within weight limits can be hazardous if they are unbalanced or concentrated in one area. Understanding load distribution, measuring and weighing materials, and following manufacturer guidelines are essential to prevent accidents.

You’ll also learn practical steps for safe loading, including training staff on proper techniques, planning load placement, securing loads, and conducting regular inspections of load-bearing surfaces. By adhering to these practices, employees can reduce the risk of structural failures and maintain a safer work environment.
