2025
Alamo Group’s Operator Safety Training (OST) program continues to be a recognized and sought out training solution for equipping operators with essential safety skills in the United States and Canada.
These comprehensive courses blend classroom instruction with practical equipment operation in the field. Participants are instructed on vital techniques, such as hazard identification, pre-operation inspections, and responsible equipment use. These practices increase operator safety awareness, and reduce the frequency of part replacements, which diminishes environmental impact.
In 2024, the OST program broadened its scope with the introduction of two additional specialized training programs and training videos:
- - ZMOST (Zero-Turn Mower Operator Safety Training) & Zero-Turn Mower Operator Safety Video
- - PMOST (Prime Mover Operator Safety Training) & Prime Mover Operator Safety Training Video.
These resources support the program’s hands-on and classroom elements, ensuring operators have access to robust, practical guidance for safe equipment operation and will be available soon on the Alamo Group’s OST website for public viewing.
Additionally, the program’s growth reflects its increasing impact.
In 2024, the program expanded significantly, providing 29 classes and training 793 participants, which was more than double the number of operators who were trained in 2023. Further program expansions into other equipment categories are planned in 2025. These achievements and projected growth highlight Alamo Group’s unwavering commitment to delivering innovative, impactful safety training. This training program will continue to empower equipment operators to recognize and mitigate safety issues, maintain equipment for safe operation, and promote environmentally conscious equipment use.
