The qualification includes standards relating to routine maintenance checks and procedures for extracting machinery. This covers inspecting hydraulic systems, checking fluid levels, and ensuring the overall mechanical integrity of the equipment to maintain safety and reliability.
Participants will be required to have knowledge about minimising environmental impact during extracting operations, including managing soil erosion, protecting natural habitats, and adhering to environmental regulations and best practices.
Competency is assessed through a portfolio of evidence that includes observations, witness testimonies, and work products. Participants must demonstrate their practical skills and theoretical knowledge in extracting operations to meet certification standards.
The qualification covers procedures for effective spoil management, including the proper handling, storage, and disposal of extracted materials. This ensures compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
Participants will be required to cover emergency procedures for extracting operations, such as handling equipment malfunctions, responding to incidents, and executing evacuation plans. This includes protocols for immediate and effective emergency response.
Participants must have experience of operation of the machine, site experience and a basic understanding of construction principles.
Upon successful completion, participants will receive the L2 NVQ Certificate in Plant Operations (Construction) – Extracting, demonstrating their competence in operating extracting machinery in construction environments.
The course duration is normally 1 day – as long as the site requirements are met and a room is available for the theoretical element of the assessment.
Our experienced assessors provide ongoing support throughout the process. Participants will receive guidance and feedback to help successfully complete the qualification
