NPORS Ride-on Roller

The NPORS Ride-On Roller training course is designed to provide learners with the  knowledge and practical skills required to safely operate ride-on rollers  within construction and site-based environments.

This course covers all aspects of ride-on roller operation, including pre-use inspections, machine controls and safe operating techniques. Learners will  develop an understanding of how to compact materials effectively, work safely  on varying ground conditions, and operate the machine in a controlled and  efficient manner.

Throughout  the training, emphasis is placed on hazard awareness, safe working practices  and operator responsibilities. Learners will also gain an understanding of  relevant health and safety legislation and how to minimise risks to  themselves and others on site.

Upon successful completion of the course, learners will be awarded the NPORS Ride-On Roller Operator Card.

This certification demonstrates that the holder has achieved the required knowledge and practical competence to safely operate a ride-on roller in line with industry standards. The NPORS card is widely recognised across the construction industry and can be used as proof of operator competence on  site.
