Afrigrit’s operators are exposed to regular training, affording
them the ability to operate machines at optimal performance to
get the job done right and fast. From a safety point of view, Pick
believes it is essential for any operator to know and understand
the machine they are operating. This ensures increased safety
and minimises the risk of accidents or injuries on the job site.
Operator training is also helping the company protect its
investment through the longevity of its machines. Well-trained
operators are also said to properly use, store and transport
the machines without damages. Training also helps operators
understand the benefit of routine maintenance checks and
identifying potential issues early, especially when they can
typically be fixed faster and less expensively.
