Plant & Machinery
This course provides a structured competence-based programme for the safe preparation, operation and shutdown of 360 degree excavators within construction, agricultural, utilities, civils, landscaping and groundworks environments. The programme has been developed to support employers, operators and contractors in meeting legal duties relating to workplace transport safety, plant operation, risk management and operational competence.
The course develops the learner’s ability to safely interpret operational information, carry out pre-operational inspections, select appropriate attachments and controls, undertake excavation and loading activities, manage workplace hazards and operate machinery in accordance with organisational procedures and relevant legislation.
The programme reflects the operational risks associated with excavator use including collision hazards, overturning risks, underground services, proximity hazards, lifting operations, environmental impact, pedestrian interaction and machinery stability. The standard supports the development of safe working behaviours, operational judgement and workplace communication required within real-world operating environments.
