Upon completing the course, delegates will:

• Acquire a working knowledge of National Highway Sector Schemes related to traffic management.
• Gain awareness of health and safety issues pertinent to traffic management.
• Be able to interpret the requirements of ‘The Safety at Street Works and Road Works, A Code of Practice (The Red Book)’ alongside guidance from ‘The Traffic Signs Manual, Chapter 8’.

• Liaise confidently with site staff to ensure TTM plans are suitable and adhere to safety standards prior to work commencement.
• Be aware of the considerations for non-motorised road users and the specifics of convoy working.

The NHSS 12D M7 course includes:

• Overview of operative and scheme requirements for TTM.
• Reference documentation, definitions, and a quick guide on highway legislation affecting TTM operations.
• Categories of road networks and operations, along with principle responsibilities in TTM.
• Detailed examination of equipment usage, site requirements, limitations, and the process for carrying out on-site assessments.
• Insights into other legislative requirements impacting TTM and site works monitoring.
• Exploration of site and activity-specific requirements, including setting scenarios for TTM requirements.
• Discussion on the standard of equipment that is acceptable to use and how to deal with changing conditions on-site.
• Emphasis on the importance of considering non-motorised road users and the requirements for convoy working.

To maintain up-to-date knowledge and comply with changes in the Code of Practice, it is necessary for delegates to complete the revised (full) T7 training course. Although on-site assessments are not required for refresher training, successful completion of the course, including passing the 12D M7 end-of-course test, certifies that delegates have the required knowledge and skills to oversee TTM operations effectively. This certification ensures that managers and client officers are well-equipped to make informed decisions regarding TTM planning, implementation, and monitoring, prioritizing safety and compliance.
