N605 - Strimmer & Brushcutter

Strimmer Training Course Introduction

The NPORS 605 course, focusing on Strimmer and Brushcutter operation, equips participants with essential knowledge and skills to ensure safe and efficient operation in various environments. This comprehensive program covers critical aspects such as risk identification, operator responsibilities, pre-operational checks, personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, and safe machine operation.

The course emphasizes the importance of identifying risks and understanding operator responsibilities. Participants are taught to assess the surrounding environment for potential hazards, ensuring they can address safety concerns. By recognising these risks, operators can take proactive measures to prevent accidents and injuries.

Additionally, the program delves into the significance of performing pre-operational checks for both the machine and the work area. Operators learn how to inspect the strimmer or brushcutter to ensure it’s in optimal working condition, reducing the likelihood of mechanical failures during operation. 

Understanding PPE requirements is another vital component of the course. Participants are educated on the specific personal protective equipment needed for strimmer and brushcutter operation, including items like gloves, safety goggles, ear protection, and appropriate clothing. This knowledge ensures that operators are properly equipped to mitigate risks associated with their tasks.

Lastly, the course provides thorough training on how to operate the machine safely. This includes guidance on handling the equipment correctly, maintaining control, and employing safe cutting techniques. Operators learn to operate the strimmer or brushcutter efficiently while minimizing risks to themselves, others, and the environment.
