Apply control measures to a low-risk, low-impact activity within the road reserve
This training programme is designed for persons who undertake low-risk, low-impact activities within the road reserve where Traffic Management (TTM) is not the worker’s primary function. The programme aligns with the New Zealand Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (NZGTTM) and replaces the former NZTA Inspector Workshop.
The course applies to council staff, utility operators, contractors, and other workers who are required to enter the road reserve to carry out non-invasive, low-risk activities that do not require static closures or formal TTM layouts.
Theory delivery may be online (preferred), face-to-face, and is facilitated by qualified assessors and trainers operating under an approved quality management system.
Assessment is conducted in accordance with NZQA requirements and includes:
· A theory assessment to confirm underpinning knowledge
· A practical assessment (face to face) involving observed tasks within a live worksite, following completion of an internal Health and Safety induction
Assessment outcomes are reported as Achieved / Not Achieved.
Successful completion of this assessment does not currently result in an NZQA-recognised Skill Standard however you will be issued with a Certificate of Achievement for Appling control measures to a low-risk, low-impact activity within the road reserve which can be used for employers to meet their ongoing training obligations under the Health & Safety at Work Act 2015.
