Construction Plant Operator Supervision and Productivity

Heavy plant is one of the largest costs and biggest hazards on a construction site, and idle or misused machines quietly erode margins. This course helps supervisors get safe, productive work from excavators, loaders, dozers and rollers and the operators who run them. It is tailored to African earthworks and civil sites where plant availability and fuel are major concerns.
