CM Labs' virtual walkaround inspection packs train operators to identify unsafe equipment
CM Labs Simulations has launched Walkaround Inspection for Earthmoving Training Packs. Through this release, CM Labs continues to expand its training packs that address industry issues like operator safety, sustainability, productivity, and workforce management.
CM Labs' virtual walkaround inspection pack is an additional exercise included with CM Labs' most used simulated earthmoving equipment training packs. It addresses the need for training operators on safety protocols and daily pre-use inspections. The exercise includes hints and detailed information at each inspection checkpoint during the evaluation. The walkaround inspection pack is included on the backhoe, dozer, tracked excavator, and wheel loader training packs.
"Operators-in-training need more than just a checklist – they need instruction and support on how best to identify equipment maintenance issues before they risk becoming safety and productivity concerns," says Davis Sieu, product manager for CM Labs Earthmoving Training. "CM Labs scoring and randomized evaluation means trainees can continue to refine skills while companies can benchmark safety progress. Our Walkaround Inspection extends training capabilities with unparalleled learning opportunities for safer operations."
Scores from the walkaround inspection pack are managed in CM Labs training management Intellia Instructor. These scores provide insights and a deeper understanding of operator skills than exercise scores alone. Instructors can monitor via tablet both classroom and individual student progress. Intellia Instructor allows students to complete lessons at their own pace, while trainers can support those who need it most. Transitioning walkaround inspections between each simulated piece of equipment is quick and seamless, allowing organizations to minimize downtime and maximize learning.
Virtual Walkaround Inspection is ideal to use when training to identify equipment failures that are unsafe and impractical to replicate on real equipment.
