Ensure the safe operation of high-speed, self-propelled tamping foot soil compactors with this professionally developed Plant and Equipment Risk Assessment (PERA).

Also know as:

• Tamping Foot (or Padfoot) Compactor: This refers to the specific design of the steel drums, which feature tapered “feet” or pads that penetrate the soil to compact it from the bottom up.
• Sheepsfoot Roller: A common industry nickname derived from the historical use of actual sheep to trample and compact earth.
• Four-Wheel Drive Compactor: Unlike single-drum rollers that have tires on one axle, this is a dedicated four-wheeled machine, often sharing a chassis design with a wheel loader.
• Static Compactor: It relies entirely on its massive operating weight (often over 20 tonnes) and high ground pressure to achieve density, rather than using the vibration found in “vibratory rollers”.
• Spreader-Compactor: Because it is standard to have a front-mounted “strike-down” blade, it is frequently described by its dual role of leveling fill (spreading) and compacting it in a single pass.
• In large-scale earthmoving contexts, operators might simply call it a “815” (Cat 815 Soil Compactor) or a “packer”.

Do I need a risk assessment for a ute?

Yes, you do need a risk assessment for a ute (utility vehicle) when it is used for work purposes. Under Australian WHS laws, any vehicle used as part of a business is considered plant, and employers have a duty to identify and manage the risks associated with its operation. This includes hazards such as distracted driving, unsecured loads, vehicle maintenance issues, fatigue, and interaction with pedestrians or other vehicles on-site. A formal risk assessment helps ensure these hazards are recognised and controlled—reducing the chance of incidents, protecting workers, and demonstrating compliance with your legal obligations.
