This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to identify the principles of ballast regulator operations.

It includes determining components and work stations of ballast regulators, identifying ballast regulator functions, and identifying hazards and risks associated with ballast regulator operations.

The unit provides an introduction only and is not to be used for the operation of ballast regulators, which must be covered by individual certification for the particular machine.

Operators of ballast regulators must have undertaken training and hold the relevant licence, permit or certificate and be recognised as competent for each type of machinery being used.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
