The Winter Maintenance Operator Certificate is for those “behind the wheel” during winter maintenance events. This workshop is designed to:
- Provide a basic understanding of winter operations
- Increase operator understanding of winter materials and how they work
- Provide an overview of winter equipment and its upkeep
- Encourage enhanced communication between fleet personnel and operators
- Discuss winter operations for operators
Resulting in more effective, efficient, equitable and environmentally-friendly snow and ice control. It is typically a four-hour workshop. There is no content testing for this program; participants will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the program as long as they have been present throughout the entire workshop. This is a fantastic training opportunity for new and experienced operators, supplemental operators from other departments, and contract operators, to ensure a strong overall understanding of winter maintenance operations.
Who should attend?
- New and experienced operators
- Supplemental operators from other departments
- Contract operators
- Operators who want a greater understanding of winter maintenance operations
Nebraska LPA- and NDOT-employed operators can register through NE LTAP to have their registration covered by Workforce Development. This is limited to 75 participants.
The workshop is November 17-18 from 9:00 AM-11:00 AM Central/8:00 AM-10:00 Mountain each day.
