This course is designed to provide delegates with the knowledge to correctly operate a Ride on Roller. It covers the theoretical and practical elements and is suitable for delegates with limited to no formal instruction or training.

The course is delivered through a combination of classroom-based tutorials and practical assignments. Delegates will be assessed through a mixture of theory and practical tests.

These will include:

• All pre-start, running checks and shutdown procedures.
• Setting roller for travel.
• Awareness of on-site hazards.
• Setting the roller for compaction duties.
• Placing roller in an out-of-service condition.
• Recognising compacted/uncompacted areas.
• Conditions that may cause instability of the roller.
• Safety procedures when working up to unsupported edges.
• Loading and unloading procedures on/off a transporter.

All delegates must have successfully passed a CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test, often referred to as the touch screen test, within the past two years.

Delegates must have a good understanding of spoken and written English.

Successful delegates will receive a CPCS Red Trained Operator Card (on successful completion of the CPCS Technical Tests).
