Conduct civil construction dozer operations

This unit teaches you how to operate a dozer safely and competently in a civil construction environment. You will cover pre-operational checks, planning and preparing for work tasks, operating the dozer to move and shape material, and completing post-operational procedures including shutdown and basic maintenance handover. The training addresses both the practical skills of handling the machine and the underpinning knowledge of site hazards, ground conditions, and work method statements that apply to dozer operations. This unit suits people who are working in, or looking to move into, civil construction, earthworks, or land development roles. It is particularly relevant if you are already on site in a labouring or plant assistant capacity and want to formalise your dozer operating skills, or if you are new to the industry and building a plant operation ticket portfolio. After completing this unit you will be able to carry out dozer operations to an industry-recognised standard, apply safe work practices specific to dozer use on civil construction sites, and communicate with supervisors and other workers about task requirements and site conditions. Roles in civil construction plant operation that this training may contribute to include dozer operator, earthworks operator, and civil construction plant operator.
