When it comes to road safety, barriers like W-beam and Thrie-beam guardrails play a critical role in saving lives. These systems are engineered to contain and redirect errant vehicles, keeping road users safe and reducing the severity of accidents. But to be effective, they must be installed by professionals with the right training and accreditation.
That’s where the ASHTAS Installer B – W-Beam/Thrie-Beam course comes in.
Developed in collaboration with Lantra and Austroads, the ASHTAS Installer B course is the second stage in the ASHTAS certification pathway, designed for operatives working with roadside safety hardware. Delivered by CivilEdge, this course focuses on the installation, application, and regulatory context of W-beam and Thrie-beam safety barriers.
Prerequisite: You must complete the ASHTAS Operative AND Installer 'A' workshop and assessment before enrolling in Installer B.
