If you’ve ever picked up a grinder, drill or circular saw on site, you already know the deal. These tools make the job quicker and easier, but things can also go wrong fast if they’re not used properly.
The RIISAM203E – Use hand and power tools unit is designed to make sure you know exactly what you’re doing, every time you pick one up. Whether you’re new to site work or need formal recognition of your experience, this nationally recognised training gives you practical, job-ready skills that align with Australian WHS requirements.
Delivered under the Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package (RII), this course leads to a Statement of Attainment within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). It’s grounded in real-world application, not just theory, so what you learn actually translates to the job.
You’ll walk away knowing how to choose the right tool, check it’s safe, use it correctly and leave the work area in good shape. It’s the kind of training that helps you work confidently, avoid mistakes and look out for the people around you.

You’ll also get a clearer sense of how small decisions on site, like skipping a tool check or rushing a task, can lead to bigger risks. It’s about building habits that hold up under pressure, not just when someone’s watching.
This is practical, hands-on training. You’ll be working with tools, not just talking about them, so you can build confidence in a controlled environment before applying it on site.
This course is designed for workers across construction, infrastructure and resources who use tools as part of their day-to-day work.
If you’re just starting out, this course gives you a solid base to build from. If you’ve been on the tools for a while, it formalises your skills and ensures you’re working in line with current standards.
It’s often completed alongside other core site requirements such as White Card Training or Working at Heights to round out your safety credentials.

The structure is straightforward and focused. You’ll be shown what to do, given the chance to practise it and assessed in a way that reflects real work conditions.

With frequent course dates and multiple delivery options, it’s easy to find a session that fits around your work schedule. You can book as an individual or organise training for a team, with a straightforward process that keeps things moving. If you’re working toward site access requirements or taking on new responsibilities on the job, getting this unit sorted now can save you time later.
Book your RIISAM203E course now to secure your spot and get qualified with training that reflects how work actually happens on site.
When you’re choosing a training provider, it’s not just about getting a certificate. It’s about whether the training actually prepares you for what happens on site.
AlertForce takes a practical, no-nonsense approach to training. You’re not sitting through generic content that doesn’t reflect real work conditions. You’re learning from trainers who understand the pace, pressure and expectations of construction, infrastructure and resource environments.
That shows up in the way the course is delivered. You’ll work through realistic scenarios, use the kinds of tools you’ll encounter on the job and get clear guidance on what safe, compliant work actually looks like in practice. It’s about building habits you can rely on, not just passing an assessment.
There’s also the flexibility. With national coverage and options for face-to-face, blended or on-site delivery, you can choose a format that fits around your work rather than disrupting it. For employers, that means less downtime and training that aligns with how your team operates day to day.
Just as importantly, everything is grounded in current WHS requirements. The training aligns with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) and Safe Work Australia guidance, so you know what you’re learning is relevant and up to date.
And at the end of it, you walk away with more than a Statement of Attainment. You walk away knowing that when you pick up a tool, you’re using it properly, safely and with confidence.
