The RIIMPO318F course focuses on equipping participants with the practical and theoretical understanding required to safely operate a skid steer loader for tasks such as lifting, digging, loading, and site preparation. Students will learn to control the machine effectively, perform maintenance checks, and apply safety practices to minimise risks on the job site.
