Site Traffic Management Specialist Universal (STMS U) 2-day course

Overview

Training Pathway: TTM Worker ⇒ TMO-NP ⇒ STMS-Universal

Connexis - Unit Standard reference: 31961

This two-day classroom theory course provides basic the STMS knowledge required for completing the STMS-NP Category A, B, or C courses and the STMS Mobile course. It is also a prerequisite for those who want to be TTMP or Auditor.

Note that once you complete this course, those who carry on to STMS CAT, A, B or C will attend the theory course for each of those. The STMS-Universal course, and the STMS CAT A/B/C NP course in the Category required, then allows attendees to complete the STMS CAT A/B/C Practical assessment.

Please note: until you have been awarded the Practical Assessment for each category of road you work on, you will be STMS non-practising only and cannot act as an STMS in charge of a TTM site.
Others who move to TTMP, Auditor, etc often only require the STMS NP course (and not the onsite practical assessments).

Topics include:

Navigating the CoPTTM
Reading a TMP and checking that it is suitable for a site (i.e. fit for purpose)
Identifying, assessing, and managing risk
Understanding layout distances
Planning a deployment (site setup) and calculating resources
Completing a TTM crew briefing
Checking a worksite
Being a leader
