Plant & Machinery
This course defines the minimum requirements for the delivery and assessment of competence-based Tractor Driving training within agricultural, horticultural, estates, grounds maintenance and wider land-based operational environments.
Agricultural tractors remain one of the most widely used and high-risk categories of mobile work equipment within the rural sector. Inadequate training, poor operational awareness, unsafe attachment practices, overturn incidents, transport collisions, maintenance failures and ineffective supervision continue to contribute to serious injuries, fatalities, environmental damage and workplace enforcement action across the industry.
This programme has been developed to provide learners with the underpinning knowledge, practical skills and operational judgement required to safely prepare, operate, manoeuvre and secure agricultural tractors and associated attachments within realistic workplace environments. The standard supports employers, contractors and operators in meeting legal duties relating to competence, supervision, equipment safety and safe systems of work.
