Soil Compactor (Roller) Safety and Operation
A free beginner course for anyone who operates a ride-on soil compactor, or works near one, on earthworks, roads and building platforms. Learn the types and parts of rollers in 3D, why overturning at edges and on slopes is the most serious hazard, the ROPS and seat belt, people on foot, vibration near trenches and services, the articulation lock bar, pre-use checks, rolling patterns, parking and transport. It is familiarisation only and does not replace the practical training, assessment and authorisation that your employer and the law require before you operate a roller.
