TMO Non Practicing Workshop Overview:
Unit Standard 31959 (Level 3, 5 Credits)
This One-Day theory workshop replaces the TC (Traffic Controller) Workshop, and is the second step in TTM unit standard qualifications. This workshop can also act as a refresher to your TC/TMO qualification. The trainee will learn the theoretical knowledge of the TMO role, and prepares the trainee (once briefed by the STMS in charge) to:
- Category A Roads:
- Undertake a roadside activity where the vehicle is legally parked and accessed from the non traffic side.
- Category A and B Roads:
- Set up, maintain, and remove TTM for roadside or shoulder activities where all TTM equipment (including TTM vehicles) is outside the edgeline (or inferred edge line e.g edge of seal)
- Maintain TTM at an existing static worksite when STMS in charge is away from the worksite. The STMS must return to the worksite to carry out any required changes.
- Complete inspection activities. The TMO warrant enables the holder to oversee and undertake inspection activities. They are not required to report to an STMS for the inspection activity.
- Please note: to be able to undertake the above tasks the trainee needs to complete the TMO Practicing qualification Unit Standard 31960), separate to this workshop.
- undertake a roadside activity where the vehicle is legally parked and accessed from the non-traffic side
