Course Overview

About This Course

Implement Traffic Management Plans (RIIWHS302E) is a vocational short course delivered by The Academy of Business and Management Australia Pty Ltd, trading as Global School of Trade (GST), at its Melbourne CBD campus. The unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set out, monitor and close down traffic management plans and traffic guidance schemes in civil construction. It applies to those working in supervisory roles who generally work in teams in live traffic environments and hold some responsibility for the outcomes of others. Completion of this unit may contribute towards obtaining traffic control accreditation; however, additional state or territory licensing and regulatory requirements may apply, and learners are advised to check the relevant local authority requirements. The course covers interpreting and implementing traffic management plans, setting up traffic control zones, signage and barriers, coordinating traffic controllers and site personnel, monitoring and adjusting traffic flow based on conditions, identifying hazards and managing traffic-related risks, and applying workplace health, safety and compliance requirements. Delivery is an intensive short course over one week with regular intakes, using face-to-face classroom sessions with practical demonstrations, and practical activities completed in simulated or controlled traffic environments. WHS and OHS terms are treated as equivalent per jurisdictional requirements. Assessment is by practical demonstration in simulated or real work conditions, written knowledge assessments, direct observation by an assessor and scenario-based tasks. The course supports pathways in construction, civil works and road maintenance.
