Select language
Most people who work around vehicles will, at one time or another, be required to help someone reverse, or manoeuvre into or out of a tight spot. In places like busy construction sites or in yards where materials are being delivered or taken, this could happen multiple times during the day.
Having a shared language for guiding vehicles, a knowledge of blind spots, and an understanding from the driver's perspective reduces the risk of a collision that could cause human or material damage. It also makes operations quicker and less frustrating.
What vehicle types are covered? Rigid and combination trucks, utes, construction equipment (bulldozers, graders, wheel loaders, backhoes, road rollers, excavators, dump trucks, articulated dump trucks, paving machines), materials handling equipment (forklifts, telehandlers, scissor lifts, boom lifts), buses and coaches, mobile cranes, and agricultural equipment (harvesters, tractors)
What do you get at the end of the course? A certificate of achievement
What are the advantages of doing this course? Understand the risks of injury in your workplace so that you can change how tasks are done, and you can improve your personal safety
Is any additional training required? No. Simply get out and practice it.
Does this course include a practical assessment with a trainer? No, none is required.
Are there any relevant NZQA unit standards? There is no unit standard
Do you need any materials for the course? No, but you could practice with a driver and any vehicle
Does it include signals for crane operators? It does not cover hand signals for crane operation.
You get access to the course for a full 6 months which means your team member can take a couple of months to finish the modules and can come back to it as a refresher anytime until the course access expires - this is great if you need to do any remedial work with them.
Set up is free whether you are purchasing one course licence or a hundred course licences.
