Project Description

RIIMPO317F – Conduct Roller Operations

Roller Operator Course Brisbane: What RIIMPO317F Covers

The roller operator course Brisbane civil construction and earthmoving crews need — RIIMPO317F Conduct Roller Operations — provides the necessary skills and knowledge to operate a roller safely and efficiently. Training combines in-class theory with practical demonstration and assessment covering legislation, hazards and risk control, planning, pre-use inspections, load charts and load characteristics, attachments, safe operation, transport, reporting procedures, and shutdown and post-operation checks.

This unit is relevant across civil construction, earthmoving and infrastructure work where roller operation forms part of daily site tasks, such as compaction work on roads, pads and general civil works.

This unit alone doesn’t provide sufficient skill to independently load and unload equipment — to complete that task safely, personnel must either complete, or be assisting someone who has completed, RIIHAN308F Load and Unload Plant (or equivalent).

Practical Roller Operator Training for Civil Construction Worksites in Brisbane

Our roller operator course is delivered face to face with a strong focus on practical, hands-on learning that reflects real workplace conditions. Participants develop the operational skills needed to work safely and effectively on site, combining theory, machine operation, and practical assessment.

You’ll learn to conduct pre-start checks, operate the roller to suit site conditions, and complete safe shutdown and post-operation checks. Training also covers relocation procedures and basic operator maintenance to ensure full operational competency.

The course is delivered face to face and typically takes 1–3 days to complete, depending on group size and experience, and can be delivered at our location or onsite where suitable equipment is available. On successful completion, participants receive a Statement of Attainment for RIIMPO317F issued by RTO 45597.

Sheer Workplace Training is responsible for the quality of this training and assessment, and issues the Statement of Attainment for this unit under RTO 45597.

Entry Requirements

There are no formal entry requirements for this course; however, participants will need to demonstrate sufficient English language, literacy, numeracy and visual interpretation skills to operate successfully and complete this course. There are no prerequisite, entry, work-placement, licensing, certification or pre-course study requirements for this course.

Personal safety clothing must be provided by the student and worn during training. Sheer Workplace Training facility will provide additional safety equipment which must be worn throughout the practical aspect of the training.

Participants must be at least 17 years of age at the commencement of this course.

Physical Requirements

It is important to note that there are physical standards which relate to the level of performance required when undertaking accredited training. There can be no exceptions to these Australian Government requirements that are clearly written into the Training Package.

Therefore, students who are unable to satisfy the physical requirements of the course cannot be deemed competent or issued with a statement of attainment, even if the qualification is a necessary part of their employment conditions.

The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) has developed a fact sheet to allow you to be fully informed about your decision to enrol in a course of study. We recommend reading this information prior to enrolling.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the entry requirements please call 07 3901 0804.

Course Fees

  • Course fees are payable prior to commencement of the course. Discounts can be applied for group bookings.
  • Course fees will be communicated to you prior to confirmation of enrolment.

Pre-Course Study

  • Students can obtain a training handbook which includes pre-training reading via email, post or collection prior to training.

Unique Student Identifier (USI)

Completing any vocational education course in Australia, it is a requirement for you to obtain and supply a USI. This is obtainable from usi.gov.au — if a USI is not supplied and verified with usi.gov.au a certificate cannot be issued to you.

Training and Assessment

Training will cover:

  • Plan and prepare for roller operations
  • Conduct roller pre-operational checks
  • Operate roller
  • Select, remove and fit attachments
  • Relocate the roller
  • Carry out machine operator maintenance
  • Conduct housekeeping activities

Practical Assessment

The simulated assessment environments will reflect the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment. Skills must be demonstrated by the student working individually in an environment that provides realistic, in-depth, industry-validated scenarios and simulations to assess students’ skills and knowledge.
