The Details
The CPCS A09 test for Forward Tipping Dumpers assesses an operator’s ability to safely and effectively operate a forward tipping dumper on construction sites. The test includes both a theory and a practical assessment. The theory test involves a series of verbal questions to check the candidate's knowledge of health and safety, machine controls, and operational procedures.
The practical test evaluates the candidate’s competence in conducting pre-use checks, driving the machine, loading and tipping materials safely, and demonstrating control and awareness throughout. Successful completion results in a CPCS Red Trained Operator Card.
