RIIMPO320 gives you a nationally recognised statement of attainment for operating an excavator on civil construction sites. You'll plan the job, do pre-start and operational checks, and dig, trench, lift and load. You'll also learn to work safely around services, other plant and people. Excavators don't need a high risk work licence in NSW, but most employers and principal contractors ask for this unit.
Who it's for
Civil construction labourers moving into plant operation, landscapers, plumbers, drainers and anyone who needs a recognised excavator ticket.
What you'll learn
- Planning the task and identifying underground and overhead services
- Pre-start, operational and post-operational checks
- Excavating, trenching, backfilling and loading trucks
- Using attachments and quick hitches safely
- Working around people, other plant and exclusion zones
- Shutting down, cleaning and basic maintenance
What to bring
Photo ID, your White Card, and your own PPE: steel cap boots, a hi-vis vest, safety glasses and ear plugs.
