TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Signing, Lighting & Guarding for OPERATIV

With so much reliance on quality, time, and safety of our roads and infrastructure, works are subject to legislation that provides a compulsory framework for new roads and street works activities.

The New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA) sets out objectives to:

• Ensure safety
• Minimise inconvenience to people using a street
• Reduce inconvenience to people with a disability
• Protect the structure of the road and the apparatus in it

Carrying out and overseeing works and monitoring the teams working on these often high-risk projects is a fundamental role on-site and one that requires acute attention to safety. A critical part of these works is preparation, with signage, lighting and guarding measures vital to overall site safety. But, it’s more than a few lights and the odd sign here and there, and operatives and supervisors on-site need to know what must happen and where.

This course delivers the necessary skills, knowledge, and understanding of Signing, Lighting and Guarding for Supervisors and Operatives. It is primarily aimed at Supervisors and Operatives who monitor or carry out the erection of signing, lighting and guarding for work.

With a mix of practical, video, and classroom-based exercises and tutorials, learners will cover legislative and administrative knowledge and awareness while taking part in practical tuition, focusing on signage, lighting and guarding measures throughout.
