Conduct Civil Construction Excavator Operations RIIMPO320F

The RIIMPO320F unit equips learners with the expertise to operate excavators in civil construction settings, focusing on safe and efficient tasks such as lifting, carrying, placing materials, relocating equipment, and performing site housekeeping. This training combines both theory and hands-on experience in realistic work environments.

Learning Objectives

Students develop competency in:

·       Planning and preparation—interpreting documentation, conducting risk assessments, selecting PPE, deploying traffic signage, and preparing for emergencies
