How to fill it out and keep it. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or a desktop browser like Chrome or Edge, then use that program's own Save or Download button, not just closing the tab, so your entries are kept in the saved copy. On a phone, most PDF apps will let you view the form but not type into it - fill it out on a computer, or print it and use a pen.

Why crews use it
- Stopping before the load is raised or lowered is its own scored item, catching the shortcut that causes tip-overs on a machine with a short wheelbase
- Looking before backing and checking both directions of travel are assessed separately, addressing a skid steer's notoriously tight blind spots directly
- Load distribution and stability are scored at pick-up, not assumed because the operator has moved similar loads before
- One standard form covers initial sign-off, green-hand 30-day checks, annual and 3-year reassessments, and post-incident re-evaluation on the same layout
- Supports skid steer operator competency verification under provincial OHS legislation and COR/SECOR training-and-competency evidence requirements
Built for
- Supervisors and trainers confirming a skid steer operator respects the machine's tight blind spots and short wheelbase, not just that they can drive it
- Companies standardising green-hand, annual, and post-incident skid steer reassessments on one form
- Safety coordinators building COR/SECOR audit evidence for compact equipment competency rather than relying on training records alone
Why it matters
A skid steer's size makes it feel less serious than a larger machine, but its short wheelbase and tight blind spots make it easy to tip or back into someone if the operator gets casual. This assessment scores the exact habits - stopping before raising a load, looking before backing - that keep a small machine from causing an outsized incident.

Common questions
Before you buy
What people ask us about the Skid Steer Operator- Competency Assessment Form - Editable.
What is the Skid Steer Operator- Competency Assessment Form - Editable used for?
Editable Skid Steer Competency Assessment – verify operator skills, document evaluations, and meet OHS and legislative compliance requirements. It is written for Canadian workplaces and formatted so it can go straight into your safety program.
Is it editable, or print-ready only?
It is supplied in an editable format, so you can add your company name, adjust the wording to match how your crews actually work, and issue it under your own program.
Does using this form make us compliant?
No single form makes a company compliant. A form is the evidence half of a safety program - it records that something was checked and by whom. It carries weight at audit time when the written program behind it says the check is required and how often. If that program does not exist yet, that is the part we write.
What format is it, and when do I get it?
It is a digital download available immediately after checkout, and you can print as many copies as your own crews need.
From the team that wrote it
These forms come from a bigger program.
Inspection and competency forms are the evidence half of a safety program. If the program they belong to does not exist yet, or has not been updated in a few years, that is the part we write.
