Officials point to Forest Service certification and Job Corps training for heavy‑equipment crews
Summary
Staff said the Fish Lake National Forest will certify operators and Weaver Basin Job Corps provides recurring heavy‑equipment training the division will use; staff plan initial training next month and long‑term certification relationships with federal partners.
Division staff described planned training and certification pathways to ensure safe and competent heavy‑equipment operation. A staff presenter said he had spoken with Grant Julander of Fish Lake National Forest, who is "certified to certify individuals on any type of heavy equipment" and has agreed to work with the division to certify supervisors who will operate machines.
Staff also noted recurring opportunities at Weaver Basin Job Corps for heavy‑equipment training and said initial training sessions are planned next month. The division said it will leverage these external partnerships to speed operator training and to maintain safety and compliance on Forest Service and BLM lands.
