Overview
CITB has developed this standard in discussion with industry
Duration
Minimum 3 days of 6 learning hours per day
Purpose/Scope
The purpose of this standard is to provide the skills and knowledge for candidates to hand apply screed applied road markings.
The scope of this standard covers:
- importance of road marking
- road marking: types, materials, and classes
- road marking: tools, equipment, and personal protective equipment (PPE)
- safe work practices such as: manual handling, fire safety, chemicals, and fatigue
- hazards, risks, and controls (for workers and other road users)
- health and safety management, including emergency response
- road stud: types, uses, and how to install them
- electronic/manual warning and traffic control signs
- roles and responsibilities in screed applied road marking
- how to apply screen applied road markings using different: tools, signs, and surfaces
- how to remove screen applied road marking
- how to dispose of waste materials
- how to store, handle, and fill (decant) screen applied road marking paint
- how to get council/highways permission to mark roads
- how to control traffic and pedestrians on roads to be marked
- how to prepare and plan to mark a road
- how to perform pre-use tools & equipment checks
- how to prepare and set up tools & equipment
- how to use marking tools & equipment
- how to handle: parked vehicles, busy routes, and bad weather
- how to clean and maintain tools & equipment
- legislation for road users and road traffic.
Occupational relevance
Training delivered against this standard is relevant to the following occupational group(s):
- operative and craft to level 2
- supervision.
Candidate pre-requisites
There are no candidate pre-requisites as part of this standard. However, it would be beneficial if candidates had experience in thermoplastic screen applied road marking operations.
Instruction/Supervision
As a minimum, course instructors must be able to demonstrate that, in relation to this standard, they have:
- a train the trainer or instructional techniques course certificate
- successfully completed training to this standard
- at least 2 years relevant industrial experience
- a verifiable CV.
Delivery
The following methods may be used in the delivery of this standard:
- practical training: off the job simulated environment (not on the roads)
- theory training: classroom, e-learning, or a combination
The class size and candidate/instructor ratio must allow training to be delivered in a safe manner and enable candidates to achieve the learning outcomes.
All materials and equipment must be of a suitable quality and quantity for candidates to achieve learning outcomes and must comply with relevant legislation.
Learning should include at least 25% of learning activities to suit scenario examples, and simulated practical examples.
Demonstrate operation of mobile equipment and vehicles, with delegates as passengers and observers, off the road, in a closed-access area.
Candidates may be able to try some basic practical tasks under close supervision and coaching, off the job, after a risk assessment has been completed and risks addressed. This is merely to sample the range of work types, not to gain competency.
This standard is considered to contain 51% or more practical training.
Assessment
Methods of assessment considered appropriate for training delivered against this standard are:
- practical assessment: off the job simulated environment
- theory assessment: classroom, e-learning, or a combination.
Quality assurance
Quality assurance against this standard will require initial approval of the training organisation and their content mapped to the standard.
CITB will also conduct an approval intervention, either desk-based or centre visit, to ensure the training organisation can meet the requirements of the training standard.
Approved training organisations (ATOs) will be required to present information on records of training and assessment upon request to CITB for desk based analysis. They will also be visited annually by the CITB quality assurance team.
Renewal
Recommended Refresher
