“Caboose” Supports On-Site Heavy Equipment Training
Senior Industry Trainer, Peter Chow, uses video recordings in his heavy
equipment training program as a way to provide feedback on procedures
and techniques. Peter records the trainee in operation and plays it
back to reinforce good practices and identify inefficiencies. The video
camera’s small screen is less than ideal for that purpose, so Peter
approached Neptune Terminals for a space and the BCMEA for
computer equipment to support video feedback on-site.
What resulted was a lockable cabinet dubbed the “Caboose.” Located
temporarily in the locker room, the intention is to mount the caboose
on wheels so it can be moved to any convenient location and used
not only to review video playback, but also as a portable classroom
housing supplies, videos and PowerPoint presentations.
Neptune Terminals always encourages and supports its employees in
their contribution to their personal health and safety, and their support
for training reinforces that. Peter is committed to targeted training
that results in a caring and professional operator. The development
of this training aid is a perfect example of the partnership between
the BCMEA, industry trainers and our customers to encourage
excellence in what we do.
