Consultancy and training provider for Vehicle Safety Fence, High Speed Traffic Management and Winter Maintenance Operatives.

High Speed Traffic Management

Training courses are provided for those involved with the installation and maintenance of temporary traffic management who are required to be registered in accordance with the Highways Agency quality assurance requirements as set out in the National Highways Sector Scheme for Temporary Traffic Management.
 
We run 12a/b courses for operatives involved with the installation and maintenance of temporary traffic management on motorways and high speed dual carriageways. The 12c courses are for those operating and maintaining of mobile-lane-closure and sign-bearing warning vehicles. For static signing on all other roads we provide 12d training.
 
Further to these courses, Highways Training can supply Lantra Awards logbooks and provide assessment for 12a/b, 12c and 12d Sector Schemes.
 
Highways Training are authorised by Lantra Awards to provide the health & safety training. We can also give advise about the on-site assessments. In addition to training courses advice can be offered on a consultancy basis.
 
12a/b Training and assessment
 
The starting point is a 1 day Introductory (health & safety) course. This course is open to anyone seeking this type of work. There is an end of course multi-choice closed book test and those who pass are registered with Lantra Awards so that a Certificate can be issued.
A person holding a Certificate may be employed on temporary traffic management work but has to be under the direct supervision of a fully qualified traffic management operative (TMO).
A Certificate is valid for 2 years whilst the logbook (see below) is completed.
 
To become a TMO you have to be employed by a company undertaking temporary traffic management work on motorways and / or trunk roads. You have to be assessed on the job - doing the job. This happens on not less than 3 occasions and the evidence is recorded in a logbook. When the logbook is signed off, the registration papers are sent to Lantra Awards and a TMO Card is issued. This is valid for 5 years and has to be renewed before it expires.
 
(When talking to prospective employers you must establish whether they require you to hold a Certificate or a Card)
 
All temporary traffic management gangs are led by a traffic management foreman (TMF). Those who have a TMO card and sufficient experience can undertake the Foreman training course. If successful they are registered with Lantra Awards so that a TMF Card can be issued.
 
A Foreman course is open to anyone with suitable experience. For those who successfully complete the course but do not have a TMO Card, a Foreman course Certificate is issued. This is required for those who wish to become a Traffic Safety & Control Officer (TSCO)
 
Introductory, Foreman and TSCO courses are run according to demand. Contact us to find out the latest information.
 
 
IPV training and assessment
 
This training and assessment can only be provided for companies that have the appropriate equipment and have access to the motorway or trunk road network for the assessment part of the qualification.
(To ensure that motorists are not put at undue risk, the Highway Agency will only allow the assessments to be undertaken as part of planned maintenance works)
