Asphalt Paver (OSHA)

What is Asphalt Paver (OSHA)?

Scrapers move massive amounts of earth in a short time, but handling them safely takes more than basic equipment familiarity. This training helps operators build the judgment, awareness, and technical understanding needed to run a scraper confidently on active job sites. The course walks learners through machine components, stability fundamentals, and the safety behaviours that prevent rollovers, collisions, and equipment strain. It also highlights the real-world hazards operators face and the practical steps that keep both people and machinery protected throughout each task.

Course Overview

Operating a scraper requires skill, precision, and a strong understanding of safety protocols. Scraper Operator Safety Training (OSHA) provides the classroom portion of operator safety certification and meets OSHA’s training requirements for scraper operation.

This course prepares operators to recognize hazards, understand scraper anatomy, and apply safe practices in construction and earthmoving environments. Learners will review essential stability principles, personal protective equipment (PPE) use, and hazard prevention methods to minimize the risk of injury or equipment damage. Interactive quizzes throughout reinforce key learning points and prepare participants for the final written exam.

Upon completion, learners can print their certificate and wallet card, while employers can use the provided checklist to evaluate practical operating performance in the field.

Topic Overview

Scrapers are powerful earthmoving machines used to cut, collect, and transport large volumes of material. Without proper training, operators face risks such as rollovers, collisions, or equipment failures. This course gives workers the knowledge to identify these hazards and follow OSHA-compliant safety practices to prevent incidents on the job site.
