Conduct roller operations

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge you need to safely and competently operate a roller in resources and infrastructure industries. You will learn how to carry out pre-operational checks, plan and prepare for roller tasks, operate the machine across different site conditions, and complete post-operational procedures including basic maintenance and reporting. The unit draws on industry standards for resources, civil construction, and extractive industries. This unit suits people working in civil construction, road building, quarrying, or mining who are required to operate a roller as part of their role. It is relevant whether you are new to roller operations and working towards a formal recognition of your skills, or an experienced operator seeking to have existing competency formally recognised. After completing this unit, you will be able to demonstrate safe roller operation in line with workplace procedures and legislative requirements, carry out compaction tasks to site specifications, respond to operational faults and hazards, and complete the required documentation. These are practical, site-ready skills that apply directly to day-to-day work with rollers on construction and civil projects.
