Is This The Training For You?
This course is for shunter operators just beginning their career or seeking to upskill in the Transport, Warehousing or Logistics sector. A shunter driver is responsible for manoeuvring vehicles around a yard into holding bays, storage areas and loading bays. Reversing is a high-risk activity in shunter operations due to the size of the vehicle. A Health and Safety Authority report found that reversing activity was involved in 11% of all fatal workplace transport accidents. All shunter drivers are required to hold a minimum of a Category B licence. This training provides the qualification to operate a yard shunter in a safe and competent manner under the guidance of one of our RSA Approved Driving Instructors.
Topics covered include:
- Understanding vehicle controls and vehicle checks procedures
- Coupling and uncoupling
- Reversing, loading and unloading
