The New Roads and Street Works Act require that anyone who executes work on behalf of a utility company is qualified for the activities being carried out. Its purpose is to make sure that the local authorities and companies work together whilst works on the highway are taking place. The effect of this is the avoidance of uneccecary disruption caused to road users and the general public, along with improved road safety.
Training in NRSWA would be suitable for companies and individuals whose work is carried out on the public highway, with a view to: ensuring journey reliability times, protecting the highway structure, giving respective counties extra powers to police highway works, ensuring safety and minimising inconvenience to road users and the general public.
The New Roads and Street works Act 1991 states that NRSWA qualifications are a legal requirement for utility companies and those working under Section 50 licences when undertaking works that require the excavation and reinstatement of the highway. Where works are subject to the Act there must be a minimum of 1 qualified operative on every site that is qualified for the operations being carried out and there must be a Supervisor available to visit the site at least on a daily basis.
NRSWA qualifications are often sought after by potential employers seeking to appoint contractors to carry out works including the excavation or reinstatement of the highway.
Training can be tailored to individual requirements by a combination of the relevant training units and modules suitable to each candidate's role. These main areas of competence include The monitoring and reinstatement of road surfaces and sub-layers, signing, lighting and guarding, the location and avoidance of underground apparatus and the excavation in the and monitoring of the highway.
Qualifications are awarded via City and Guilds Certification leading to registration with the Street Works Qualifications Register (SWQR). SWQR registration is available for combinations of units dependant on personal requirements. Prior to attending and training, candidates should consult with a course provider to identify which units need to be studied in order to gain the required certification.
Each unit of competence is assessed by observation plus written and oral questioning. Supervisors are required to be assessed observing the performance of an Operative. Some Units will ask the candidate to carry out risk assessments and to produce sketches.
