Conduct Civil Construction Grader Operations

About this course

This nationally accredited short course covers the skills and knowledge required to conduct grader operations.  This unit derives from the RII30820 – Certificate III in Civil Construction Plant Operations.

Application

• This unit applies to those who work in operational roles.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements that apply to this unit can vary between states, territories, and industry sectors, and must be sourced from the relevant jurisdiction

Jurisdiction: This is nationally recognised qualification that qualifies you to safely operate a grader and can be used when applying for jobs in the civil construction and resources sector across Australia. Sites may require further training according to their standards.

Licence:

You do not need a specific license to operate a grader under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011. However, where a certificate is no longer required for earth moving activities, the PCBU has a primary duty of care duty under the Act to ensure that workers are trained and competent to do this work safely; this unit can and may be used to satisfy some of the requirements.
