Course Overview
Re-accreditation of all traffic management accreditation holders is required every three (3) years, following which it is a requirement that ‘refresher training’ is undertaken to maintain accreditation with Main Roads WA. This one (1) day non accredited course provides students with updated information on the latest changes and requirements to safely and efficiently operate a truck mounted attenuator (TMA). The course is aligned with industry requirements and allow participants the opportunity to experience a broad range of workplace situations. The course is delivered face to face and includes practical training and assessments using live traffic environments. This level of Main Roads WA accreditation is required by anyone operating a truck mounted attenuator.
Important Note: Employers who need to complete this training are required to supply a Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA) for the use during training and assessment. The TMA supplied must be compliant with National & WA TMA requirements and also be fitted with a dual four point safety harness (required for training). In the event a TMA is not able to be supplied by the employer for training, we can arrange a TMA on your behalf via a hire arrangement at the applicable fee, subject to availability.
In consultation with key stakeholders, Main Roads WA have developed the below Guidelines for the use of TMAs in WA. The guidelines will require the use of TMAs to protect road workers on freeways and high volume high speed roads in the metropolitan area and will commence on 1 July 2017. Download Here
