Cert III Mobile Plant study plan

Map every Core Unit performance criterion to a one-line self-check question you can answer aloud

Define the duty-of-care and hazard-reporting obligations that apply to mobile plant operators in your jurisdiction, citing the regulator

Build a personal glossary of 30 Core Unit terms (hierarchy of control, SWMS, isolation, tag-out, PPE, incident notification) with your own definitions

Draft a blank pre-start inspection checklist template covering fluids, tyres/tracks, guards, lights, alarms, and emergency stops

Explain the hierarchy of control and apply it to three plant-specific hazards you have personally seen or can source from a site case study

Sequence the steps of a lock-out/tag-out isolation for a mobile plant item from shutdown to verification of zero energy

Describe the correct response sequence for a plant fire, a crush injury, and a fuel spill, in order of action

Write out the communication protocol for a spotter, including hand signals and radio call format

Identify the major components of a tracked excavator and a wheel loader and state the function of each in one sentence

Perform a documented pre-start inspection on your training machine and record every defect found

Explain the stability triangle or tipping-line principle for the machine class you will be assessed on

List the load-chart or capacity limits that apply to your machine and where the placard is located

Demonstrate smooth travel, steering, and stopping on flat ground with no contact with markers

Execute a trench or stockpile task to a stated tolerance and record your measured deviation

Park and shut down the machine to the manufacturer's procedure without prompting

Recite the isolation and refuelling procedure for your machine from memory

Label the forklift's load centre, rated capacity, and derating rules and calculate capacity at a stated load centre

Complete the forklift pre-start check including mast chains, forks, tyres, horn, and overhead guard

Explain the stability pyramid and name three conditions that shift the centre of gravity outside it

Describe pedestrian exclusion zones, speed limits, and the right-of-way rules in a shared warehouse

Perform a pick, travel, and place cycle with the load stable and the mast lowered to travel position

Stack and de-stack to a marked height without disturbing adjacent loads

Load and unload a truck or trailer ramp with the correct approach angle and brake procedure

State the refuelling or battery-change procedure and the PPE required for each

Identify the EWP type you will be assessed on and list its rated capacity, maximum height, and wind-speed limit

Complete the EWP pre-start check including harness anchor points, tilt sensors, emergency lowering, and guardrails

Explain the fall-arrest and restraint requirements and demonstrate correct harness fit and attachment

Describe the rescue-down procedure for an operator stranded at height and the sequence of contacts

Complete a full timed mock assessment across all four domains and score it against the unit criteria

Re-drill your three weakest practical tasks identified in the mock until each is fault-free twice in a row

Recite the Core Unit emergency, isolation, and reporting procedures without notes

Compile a one-page pre-assessment checklist of every item you must bring, wear, or prepare
