This nationally recognised unit, RIIMPO324 Conduct civil construction grader operations, provides the skills and knowledge required to safely operate a grader in civil construction environments.

This unit may be completed as a standalone course or combined with other selected civil construction units.

Training covers planning and preparing for operations, pre-start and operational checks, working safely around site hazards and services, setting and controlling the mouldboard and ripper, spreading and trimming material, cutting drains and batters, maintaining grade and crossfall, finishing surfaces to specification, shutdown and site clean-up activities.

Training is delivered through a combination of:

• prescribed pre-course learning
• trainer-led face-to-face training and practical activities
• practical training using a grader and attachments
• theory and practical assessment

Pre-course learning is completed before attending the practical training component and prepares learners for the face-to-face training and assessment activities.

Assessment

Assessment includes knowledge questions and practical demonstration of grader operations. Learners are required to demonstrate safe operation on at least two occasions, using different materials and civil construction activities.

Outcome

On successful completion, learners receive a Statement of Attainment (SOA) for RIIMPO324 Conduct civil construction grader operations.
