Operate Rough Terrain/Earthmoving/Agricultural Equipment

On completion of this course, the successful learner will be credited with this unit standard, which means they can acquire the competencies and skills to operate the components, systems and levers to accomplish the task of lifting and handling loads appropriately. The aspects of safety and communication during the lifting operation are covered.

Course outline

At the end of the course, the learner will be able to:

  • discuss and apply the regulatory framework for operating rough terrain/earthmoving/agricultural equipment
  • describe the rough terrain/earthmoving/agricultural equipment to be operated
  • demonstrate mechanical awareness of the rough terrain/earthmoving/agricultural equipment
  • inspect the rough terrain/earthmoving/agricultural equipment
  • handle loads with a rough terrain/earthmoving/agricultural equipment
  • operate the rough terrain/earthmoving/agricultural equipment.

 

It is important that the learners operate rough terrain/earthmoving/agricultural equipment using the competencies in this Unit Standard and in keeping with the requirements of the National Code of Practice (NCOP) for the Evaluation of Training Providers for Lifting Machine Operators (Government Gazette 27292: 18 February 2005).
