Green Aspect Consulting Staff undertook training to obtain their Operate four-wheel drive (TLIC2025) competency, a required training course for operating four- wheel drive vehicles in Mine sites and the rail corridor.

All the staff where extremely excited to undertake the training, especially Thomas Spooner who is a self-proclaimed four-wheel drive and hunting enthusiast.

The course involved practical and theory training which incorporated how a vehicle four-wheel drive system works, how to use vehicle traction control and the safety requirements when conducting four-wheel driving.

The practical component of the training was undertaken at Freemans Waterhole, NSW and to all the staff’s excitement was the first day after 10 days of torrential rainfall and flooding throughout NSW. All the tracks where tremendously slippery and covered in mud puddles which made for a fun and interesting day.

The instructor was very supportive and explained how to drive the Green Aspect Consulting Toyota Hilux’s to efficiently straddle wheel ruts, undertake hill climbs, undertake side slopes, and safely drive through puddles/ river crossings.

All staff had a very educational and enjoyable day, gaining confidence to undertake four-wheel driving safely when working in the rail corridor and Mine sites.
