INSPECTOR

This training is similar to the TMO training but includes CAT C inspection material.

This qualification enables the holder, to:

• Undertake roadside activities on all roads less than 60km/hr
• Undertake inspection activities on all roads less than 60km/hr and on bi-directional roads of any speed

Additional considerations about the qualification

• Inspection activities in the live lane of multilane roads greater than 70km hr are not covered under this qualification
• The Inspector qualification does not require an STMS to be in overall charge of the inspection activity

This special qualification is designed for:

• Any person wishing to conduct inspection activities and who does not need to hold other TTM warrants.
  • This may include surveyors, provided their work fits within the range of inspection activities.

*Staff who are regularly involved in the installation of TTM which may include inspecting or carrying out non-invasive work, are not eligible for the Inspector warrant and must hold the appropriate TTM warrant.

Examples of activities that can be carried out under the Inspector warrant:

• Observation, using a measuring wheel, surveys, traffic counts
• Installing traffic count equipment
• Road maintenance activities such as removal of litter, cleaning signs, cleaning edge markers, or taking photographs.

Type of workshop:

• This is a 1-Day workshop with theory assessments. Those who pass the workshop will need to successfully complete 2 practical competence assessments to achieve the practicing inspector qualification and can apply through their trainers to receive a certificate of achievement and a warrant card that will be issued by Waka Kotahi. Those who take charge of a worksite must be certified and registered on the Waka Kotahi's TTM database.
