Overview
RIIMPO308F Conduct tracked dozer operations covers the skills and knowledge required to safely plan, prepare for and operate a tracked dozer in the resources and infrastructure industries. The unit includes pre-operational checks, dozing and earthmoving tasks, machine relocation, operator maintenance and post-operational shutdown procedures across mining, civil construction and heavy industry environments.
This unit is drawn from the RII Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package and is delivered via blended learning, combining online pre-course theory with one day of face-to-face practical training and assessment at Forky Stick’s Rockhampton facility.
On successful completion, participants receive a Statement of Attainment for RIIMPO308F Conduct tracked dozer operations from Forky Stick Training and Safety Consultants (RTO #45802).
