Ensuring road safety during temporary works is a critical responsibility for local authorities. This course is designed to equip you with the essential knowledge and skills needed to enhance road safety through effective use of Road Restraint Systems (RRS) on local authority roads.
After attending this course, delegates will:
- Gain an appreciation of the need to assess highways for the use of Road Restraint Systems (RRS)
- Understand of the processes and limitations of PRRSLA
- Understand the decision making processes required when selecting the assessment pathway within PRRSLA
- Be able to apply the assessment output(s) in the highway environment
- Be aware of and have knowledge of available data sources that may influence the decision making processes
Before attending this course, it is suggested that candidates attend An Introduction to Road Restraint Systems & Assessment of Need (RRS).
Course Outline:
- PRRSLA Limitations and Exclusions
Understanding usage and application
PRRSLA as a tool, including the selection process
RRS types excluded from assessment
Interpretation of withdrawn documentation
- Headline Data usage
- The PRRSLA Methodology:
Method A – Incident Driven Assessment
Method B – TAL 6/03
Method C – Risk Based Assessment
- Output considerations & Appendix 4/1
- Use of data for justification (Cost Benefit)
- Other considerations
Benefits of Attending:
Increased understanding of the PRRSLA process and its use within a risk based decision making assessment of need for road restraint systems.
Intended For:
- Those undertaking risk-based assessments of need (RRS)
- Those managing highway engineers undertaking risk-based assessments of need (RRS)
- Inspectors (RRS and Structures) and Road Safety Engineers who wish to understand how the PRRSLA toolkit assists with the decision making process and the implications of RRS installation
Pre-Course Requirements:
Candidates are to indicate prior to the training if they:
a: have used PRRSLA and if so, which models
b: have access to PRRSLA, or
c: have no understanding of PRRSLA
