Occupational safety for your employees
Operator card training in accordance with DGUV
Renting and operating machinery and equipment means taking on responsibility. We train your employees so that you, as a business owner, can fulfill your legal obligation to provide training.
Why is OperatorCARD training useful and necessary?
OperatorCARD training courses are mandatory for business owners. The OperatorCARD training courses, conducted in accordance with ISO 18878, certify that participants have met all relevant occupational safety and health requirements under DGUV 308-008.
The OperatorCARD saves time during machine handoffs and provides you, as a business owner, with legal protection. We offer equipment-specific training courses for aerial work platforms, forklifts, telescopic forklifts (rigid/ROTO), earthmoving equipment, as well as cranes and riggers.
