Course Overview: This two-day workshop has been developed to explain the purpose and procedures followed in Road Safety Audits. It works through the AustRoads Guidelines, and discusses case studies of Audits already undertaken. Audits of selected local projects are performed by delegates, including day and night time inspections.
The Guidelines provide practitioners and decision-makers with ways to formally address road safety issues before accidents occur. They are based on the latest information available and incorporate the combined experience of State road authorities throughout Australia, local government and Transit NZ.

The importance of conducting Road Safety Audits at the earliest opportunity in the development of any project is emphasised during the program and it is, therefore, important that personnel involved in the feasibility and design process understand the implications of their decisions.
Councils in the location of the training will be requested to provide design projects (of any size) and accompanying drawings suitable for review by delegates - a free audit! Groups are kept to a size conducive to gaining the best training result.
Designed for: Design Engineers, Construction Engineers, Maintenance Engineers, Consultants, QDMR personnel, Road Safety Officers and any local government engineers and practitioners involved in the design, construction and maintenance of roads.
