This workshop covers all of the knowledge needed for the TMO to be able to install, maintain and remove TTM out of the lane, mind TTM in the lane and complete inspection activities. 

The TMO NP workshop covers the following topics:

There is a unit standard which is completed during this workshop - US 31959: Demonstrate knowledge of stakeholder and operationalrequirements for temporary traffic management.

The participant's National Student Number (NSN) is required for the unit standard to be awarded. Contact us if you have any problems finding this.

This is a knowledge-based workshop building towards a practising unit standard for someone who will complete the following tasks on category A and B roads:

• Sets up, maintains and removes TTM for roadside activities (TMD F2.5) CATEGORY A ENVIRONMENTS ONLY
• Sets up, maintains and removes TTM for shoulder closures (TMD F2.7)
• Maintains a worksite with TTM equipment on the lane while the supervisor is away.
  Note: The TMO will not be able to setup or remove TTM equipment which is on the live lane.
