Comments now open for temporary traffic management roles and related training

Austroads has published a report seeking feedback from industry about proposed changes to temporary traffic management roles and related training.

Austroads' Safety at Road Worksites project (Strategic Priority Project BN2019) consists of four main modules of work and a fifth module supporting the update to AS1742.3. These modules are as depicted in the following figure with the objective of improving safety at road worksites.

The report represents the first major piece of work undertaken within Module 2 – Harmonised Australasian Training and is focussed on the framework within which the future training documentation will be developed.

As part of this project, Austroads is seeking input from industry on the proposed changes to Temporary Traffic Management roles and related training.

The Austroads project working group has developed a series of recommended positions and these are outlined. Where alternative options have been put forward these are also set out for industry consideration.

Industry is asked to provide their views on the recommendations and approaches outlined in this paper.

Comments are to be provided to using the feedback form provided with this industry consultation document. Please note that feedback provided as a mark-up to the report may not be considered.

All feedback forms are to be submitted by email to austroads@solutionsintransport.com.au

Feedback is due by Wednesday 16 January 2019.
