What’s in the Ice Resurfacer Training Course?

Our Ice Resurfacer safety training course is regulation-aligned, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. Each class contains sections on anatomical components, safe operations, common hazards to avoid, and more.

This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical exam as required.

While this training encompasses many important safety standards, you will still need to familiarize yourself with any other federal, state, and local standards that apply to your specific workplace.

Why Do I Need Ice Resurfacer Safety Training?

In line with regulations, anyone who operates heavy equipment must receive training prior to operating the machine on their own. Requirements for refresher training and other processes are very specific. Most other equipment doesn’t have such specific OSHA training requirements, but it’s wise to follow the same guidelines.

When it comes to refresher health and safety training, the standards in some instances (like forklifts) are very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer, but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Heating the water is one common way to remove air bubbles so that the ice freezes more firmly and creates a smooth, safe surface for skating.

Zamboni is the name of the person who invented the device for resurfacing ice. Now, many ice resurfacing machines are produced by the Zamboni company, but not all of them. Although they are often still referred to as “Zambonis,” that is not precisely correct, in legal terms.

A blade shaves off uneven ice. Augers move the snow up and into the tank. The machine sprays warm water into any holes too large for the blade to have removed, and then vacuums any excess. The final step the machine takes is to spray another thin layer of warm water and smooth it with a cloth or rubber part so that the machine leaves a smooth, solid trail behind it.
