When conducting a field service for a truck breakdown, workers are often working alongside a live traffic lane. In most cases, the worker is working alone when they are called out for heavy mobile equipment break downs.

In this course, we train how to conduct this work safely so that workers don’t place themselves at risk of coming into contact with moving vehicles. The course also covers aspects of mechanical maintenance work out in the field as a mobile maintenance technician.

Workers will often be working alone and in remote areas. It is important that they understand how to work safely as a lone worker. The course also covers the risks to safety while working alone on mobile maintenance duties.
