In July NSW WorkCover announced that as of 30 September 2011 as part of WorkCover’s transition to the new Work Health and Safety legislation, the requirement for operators to hold a Certificate of Competency to operate the following plant will be removed under the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 for operators. Therefore, from 30 September 2011, you do not need a Certificate of Competency to operate this plant. There will be no new assessments or re-assessments done by a WorkCover assessor from this date.
This includes the following:
- Front end loader (LL)
- Front end loader / Backhoe (LB)
- Front end loader / Skid steer (LS)
- Excavator (LE)
