NRSWA - New Roads & Street Works Training - Unit 2 (O1) - Signing, Lighting and Guarding - For Operatives

Overview

A suitable location, that is either a real road with unpredictable traffic and pedestrians or a realistic simulation. Where assessments are carried out on simulated site candidates will need to produce evidence from work place showing that activities assessed have been carried out on a real road. Work place evidence is expected to be provided after the initial assessment.

Assessment

Candidates may be assessed two per assessor providing there is no cross contamination of evidence & location is large enough to cater for them. The assessor must control the site to ensure where the two candidates are being assessed, they both must demonstrate competence. Care should be taken to ensure where candidates are assessed in two's that they are not being lead.

Delegates must be able to:

- Produce plan of intended site showing position of signs, guarding & traffic signals.
- Plan must include all relevant distances, sizes and dimensions required.
- Produce list of equipment for intended site
- Demonstrate sequence of setting out the advance signing, safety zones & pedestrian walkways
- Demonstrate positioning, testing, adjusting, commissioning and decommissioning of temporary traffic signals
- Answer a range of questions to demonstrate knowledge of subject
- Conduct activities safely wearing appropriate safety wear
- Provide sufficient evidence of knowledge by way of oral or written questions.

Pre-requisite
