Load Moving Skates Safety Awareness Course

• Learning Outcomes

This online Load Moving Skates Training Course is designed for those involved in moving heavy machinery using load moving skates, often referred to as machine moving skates or machinery skates. The course takes a clear, logical approach to building knowledge, starting with an explanation of what load moving skates are, where they are typically used, and how they enable controlled and predictable movement of large loads. It then explores relevant legal responsibilities in Ireland, along with the different skate types, layouts, and configurations available, helping learners understand how to select equipment that suits both the load and the surface conditions. The course also covers inspection expectations, key checks before use, principles for safe movement, effective communication during manoeuvring, and correct actions once the move has been completed. A dedicated training video supports the learning, with short multiple-choice knowledge checks included at the end of each module. Throughout the course, strong focus is placed on recognising hazards, maintaining load stability, and identifying situations where using load moving skates would not be appropriate. The course finishes with a concise summary that reinforces the core learning points, making it suitable for anyone responsible for machinery movement who requires clear, compliant knowledge and a recognised online certificate for Ireland.
