  • Beschreibung: The job of a backhoe operator is to perform earthworks as well as auxiliary, transport and order work. The working environment of the backhoe loader operator are construction sites, gravel pits, sand pits, quarries, and mines. The backhoe operator works both inside and outside the cab and is exposed to the presence of many environmental factors that can cause accidents at work and occupational diseases. The paper presents in a synthetic way the characteristics of the profession of a backhoe loader operator paying attention to such aspects as: the scope of performed activities (tasks), working environment and qualifications and qualifications necessary to perform this profession. Then, a review of occupational hazards occurring at the workplace of a backhoe loader operator was made. Supplementing the above considerations are the results of the occupational risk assessment carried out using the Risc Score method. As a result, the authors of the publication present examples of corrective actions to minimize the level of occupational risk.
