At CivilEdge, we’re proud to deliver nationally recognised training that helps shape safer roads across Australia and New Zealand. In partnership with Lantra, we offer the ASHTAS Installer B courses—an essential part of the Australian and New Zealand Safety Hardware Training and Accreditation Scheme (ASHTAS). Designed for professionals involved in the installation and maintenance of road safety hardware, this course provides a flexible learning pathway tailored to your role, responsibilities and project needs.
Unlike a one-size-fits-all model, ASHTAS Installer B is made up of four distinct modules, and students can choose to complete one, two, three, or all four depending on their specific work requirements. Here’s a closer look at each module and who it’s designed for.
1. ASHTAS Installer B – Terminals and Crash Cushions
This module focuses on the correct installation and positioning of terminals and crash cushions, which are critical for absorbing impact and protecting road users.
Participants will gain:
A clear understanding of how terminals and crash cushion function.
Knowledge of installation methods for public domain products.
Insights into safety and quality control in installation practices.
Skills in setting out and positioning these systems to regulatory standards.
Ideal for operatives working on roadside impact protection systems, this module ensures installations are carried out safely and effectively.
2. ASHTAS Installer B – W-Beam / Thrie-Beam
As a foundational course in barrier systems, this module covers the widely used W-Beam and Thrie-Beam guardrails. It is perfect for:
Road safety barrier installers
Construction workers and infrastructure contractors
Civil engineers, supervisors and maintenance crews
Government authorities and compliance officers
What you’ll learn:
Functional knowledge of W-Beam and Thrie-Beam systems (legacy and accepted products).
Installation standards for Public Domain systems approved by road authorities.
Component identification, drawing interpretation, inspection, and maintenance practices.
Safety regulations, workplace communication, and quality control procedures.
This module helps ensure teams are fully equipped to install and maintain steel guardrail systems to the highest standards.
3. ASHTAS Installer B – Wire Rope Safety Barrier (WRSB)
Wire Rope Safety Barriers play a vital role in road safety, and this module introduces their correct assembly and use. Participants will gain:
A general awareness of WRSB systems and their safety benefits.
Insights into the differences between ‘Legacy’ and ‘Accepted’ WRSB products.
Understanding of common safety concerns and assembly procedures.
This module is ideal for installers and maintainers who work with flexible safety barrier systems and want to strengthen their understanding of WRSB.
4. ASHTAS Installer B – ‘Rigid’
This module delivers essential training for the installation of rigid road safety barrier systems, commonly deployed in high-risk or constrained locations where deflection is not acceptable. Participants will gain:
Knowledge of rigid concrete barrier types including slip formed and cast in-situ systems.
Skills in interpreting design specifications and ensuring compliance with height, alignment, and reinforcement requirements.
Understanding of installation tolerances, testing procedures, and concrete quality controls.
Awareness of safe transition connections and mitigation strategies such as terminal protection.
Designed for experienced operatives involved in rigid barrier installation, this module ensures safe and compliant practices on some of the most technically demanding roadside infrastructure.
At CivilEdge, we deliver training that aligns with industry requirements, safety regulations and emerging best practices. Whether you’re a contractor, installer, supervisor, or regulatory professional, the ASHTAS Installer B modules provide the knowledge and practical skills to support safer road environments.
You don’t need to complete all four modules—just select the ones that best suit your role and projects. This flexibility ensures that you get the training that matters most to your work.
