Definitions
Company procedures means all documented policies, procedures, and
methodologies of the candidate’s employer at the time of assessment, including but
not limited to those relating to health, safety, environment, quality, administration,
and operations.
Level 2 and 3 roads are designated as such by an RCA. They are normally multilane, high-speed roads with annual average daily traffic in excess of 10,000 vehicles
and high daily peaks approaching maximum lane capacity. Level 2 and 3 roads
generally require a mobile operation to install, modify, and remove temporary traffic
management.
Site, for the purpose of this unit standard, includes a worksite within a road reserve.
Road reserve refers to the area between legal boundaries, usually fence line to fence
line, and dedicated to allow the passage of road users including any safety run-off
areas. It also includes 6m airspace directly above the road surface. Where activity
takes place outside the road reserve, but has the potential to impact on the road
reserve, this activity would be included as a worksite within the road reserve.
