Roller Compactor Training Courses

The ride on roller is a relatively basic, common machine which is dependent upon the operator for correct/safe operation. It is often used in an area where there are other plant/people so there is no room for errors. For the same reason the operator should be totally aware of possible dangers and dangerous situations for himself, others and the machine. To successfully pass the assessment the operator must be able to: Identify the basic construction and components, and the purpose and use of all controls and gauges. Identify and comply with manufacturer’s instructions in accordance with the operator’s handbook. Carry out all pre-use and running checks. Set the roller for site travel.
