CPCS Blue Card Renewal Test For Agricultural Tractor A33-RT33 2022 UK

The CPCS Blue Card Renewal Test For Agricultural Tractor A33-RT33 is an important step in the process towards maintaining the skills, knowledge, and competency of the cardholder.Agricultural tractors, as the name suggests, are machines originally designed for the agricultural sector but adopted by the construction sector to support of construction-related activities such as trailer and bowser towing and using implements such as sweeper brushes. Accidents and incidents do occur and proper pre-use checks are required for safe operation. Failure to properly check the tractor or implement before work could mean that, as with all plant and machinery, injuries are caused because faults can affect both performance and safety. The tractor and any implement must be checked according to manufacturer’s requirements before work starts by following the information contained in the operator’s or user’s manual. If the tractor and implement are not checked, or not checked thoroughly, a defect could exist which can cause a near miss or even an injury. For example, one vital check is the operation of the hand or parking brake as a tractor, unlike most plant, may need to be left with its engine running without the operator in the seat when the Power Take Off (PTO) is being used to drive implements. A defective handbrake in an unattended machine can have serious consequences. Another check that would be made on an agricultural tractor is the correct operation of the PTO drive. This should be checked before the machine is put to work, otherwise a defective PTO drive may only be noticed after an implement is coupled up ready for use.
Any defects, no matter how minor, must be reported immediately as what the operator may consider to be a minor fault, such as outer damage the hydraulic hoses on for example, a front loader attachment, could be a significant but not a visible fault. The cab glass and mirrors should be regularly cleaned which aids effective vision. Access to clean the cab glass or mirrors should be planned so that a fall from height can be avoided or minimised. An operator climbing onto parts of the tractor, such as the wheels or rear link arms, could slip or trip and possibly fall. This also applies when checking the tractor for work, as some checks may cause the operator to climb onto parts of the machine or bodywork, such as the mudguards, and again they could slip or fall.
