General Worker
Connexis Unit standard ref: US31597
Demonstrate knowledge of working safely as a general worker on a worksite under temporary traffic management.Who is this course designed for?
This course is aimed at anyone who is working onsite or who is likely to visit a worksite.
- Contractors who are working within the workspace but are not directly involved with the TTM closure or TTM Crew (i.e. traffic management activities).
- Office workers, project managers, or people who intend on visiting or entering a TTM site who would like some entry-level knowledge about TTM. This course would provide very basic knowledge of the rules to follow on a TTM site.
- Overall, if you do not intend to do any of the TTM roles (i.e. are planning on becoming a TMO or STMS) this course would be a good match, but anyone else would be best to start with the TTM-Worker course.
- The General Worker course can also be used as a stepping stone to the TTM Worker course, which is required when first training in traffic management. (Please note: there are no pre-requisites to attend the TTM Worker course)
