We also offer refresher training for employers looking to keep licenced staff up to date with current procedures and legislation, refresh their memory on the basics and eliminate any bad habits that may have developed.
Changes to Earthmoving Licences
For the first time and in response to industry calls for greater national consistency, the Commonwealth, States and Territories have all agreed to implement nationally harmonised WHS Legislation to commence from 1st January 2012.
Therefore, as of 1st January 2012, all of the earthmoving occupations will not require a licence to operate. This equipment includes backhoes, front end loaders, excavators, rollers, skid steer loaders, dozers, graders and scrapers. Read more ... trainees that complete a course at The Operator School will be issued with a "competency card" to demonstrate to an employer that a course of training has been done. This is the way that machinery training and assessment will be conducted from this day forward.
