For CivilEdge, being accredited as an ASHTAS Approved Provider by Austroads and Lantra, demonstrates our commitment to excellence in the installation and maintenance of road safety barriers and comprehensive road safety training. This accreditation not only validates the quality of our training programs but also ensures they meet the highest industry standards established by the Austroads Safety Hardware Training and Accreditation Scheme (ASHTAS).

Why ASHTAS Accreditation Matters?

Austroads members and the road safety barrier industry have expressed concerns about the ongoing quality of barrier installations, which could jeopardise the safety of the public and road workers. To address these concerns, Austroads have worked with Lantra to introduce a nationally consistent training and ongoing accreditation program. This program ensures that all installers and operatives in the workforce are well-versed in correctly installing, repairing, and maintaining road safety barriers according to the manufacturer’s specifications and best practices.

Ultimately, the accreditation delivers a high standard and nationally consistent set of training outcomes for individuals involved in installing and maintaining road safety barriers across Australia and New Zealand.

ASHTAS Courses Offered by CivilEdge

CivilEdge offer the current range of ASHTAS courses approved by Austroads:

  1. ASHTAS Operative Course: This entry-level course is intended for individuals involved in the installation and maintenance of road safety barriers. This course aims to ensure the individual comprehends the fundamentals of road safety hardware installation to aid their safety on-site and value to the industry as members of a road safety hardware installation crew.

Installer courses: The next stage of training for operatives is to become accredited for installing road safety hardware, by completing the following:

  1. ASHTAS Installer A Course: Building on the Operative course, this program is designed for operatives seeking accreditation in the installation of road safety hardware. It covers the generic elements and practice of road safety hardware installation and includes classroom theory training and an invigilated test.

  2. ASHTAS Installer B Course: This advanced course is for those who have completed the Installer A module.

To ensure you are receiving accredited training that meets the highest industry standards, it is essential to verify that your training provider, such as CivilEdge, is listed on the Lantra Approved Provider website. This step guarantees that the courses you enrol in adhere to the rigorous standards set by the Austroads Safety Hardware Training and Accreditation Scheme (ASHTAS), ensuring both your safety and the quality of your work.
