Road Safety Audits are an integral part of the safe system approach at all stages of the road construction and maintenance process. The objective of a road safety audit is to identify foreseeable hazards for all road users. 

The road safety audit process provides a reasonable, but not absolute, hazard identification method for all road users, focusing on reducing fatal and serious injuries.  The course contents include

• The mechanics of Road Safety Audits
• Legal liabilities
• Safe system & safe road environment
• The audit process
• Report writing
• Land use developments
• Roadside hazards
• Vulnerable road users
• Roadwork traffic management

Who should attend? - Designed for road safety audit practitioners who have not conducted a sufficient number of road safety audits to remain on the register of accredited auditors. The course may also be useful for accredited auditors wishing to hone their skills and knowledge

This workshop is offered through IPWEA-QNT

The Austroads Safety Hardware Training and Accreditation Scheme (ASHTAS) is mandatory now in most jurisdictions for industry professionals installing and maintaining road safety barrier systems.  

ASHTAS aims to ensure all involved in installation / maintenance of road safety barriers have the knowledge and skills required to deliver safe road infrastructure. ASHTAS is a graduated pathway starting with entry-level safety and operational awareness, to generic and then specialised installation training.  There are two levels of training course

1. The Operative training is an entry-level course for anyone involved in the installation and maintenance of road safety barrier systems.
2. The Installer suite comprises:

• Installer A training – the individual completes installer theory and the generic elements in practice of road safety hardware installation.
• Installer B – the individual completes training for specific road safety barrier types and then as applicable additional proprietary-specific system training

Solutions in Transport has partnered with RISS as the local administrative partner in Australia.   Roading Industry Support Services is an approved and active training providers in delivering the Operative training in Australia and NZ and is currently the only approved trainer delivering the Installer training suite in Australia and New Zealand.
