Changes to Loadshifting Training and Assessment procedures - From September 30th 2011
From September 30th 2011 operators in NSW no longer need a certificate of competency to operate a:
*Front end Loader (LL)
*Front end Loader/backhoe (LB)
*Front end Loader of the skid steer type (LS)
*Excavator(LE)
However, employers (or controllers of plant) must ensure that the operators have received adequate information and training.
To determine an operator's competency, appropriate training or experience could include that they:
*Hold a previous certificate of competency issued by WorkCover.
*Hold a statement of attainment or other nationally recognised qualification for the type of plant they will be operating.
*Have completed training at an industry training school, or hold an industry competency card for the relevant item of plant.
*Have been trained on-the-job by an experienced and competent person (this must be structured and evidenced).
Demonstrate experience and competency, which can be verified by a previous employer.
