INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Control Vehicle & Pedestrian Traffic Using Stop-Slow Bats course. This course only includes a challenge assessment designed to assess your knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competence in controlling live vehicle and pedestrian movements safely using stop-slow bats, while applying approved traffic guidance schemes, workplace procedures, and jurisdictional safety and environmental requirements.

Controlling traffic using stop-slow bats involves actively managing the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians through or around work areas where traffic conditions are temporarily changed. This work requires clear communication, constant situational awareness, and strict adherence to traffic guidance schemes because traffic environments can change rapidly and involve multiple hazards, including poor visibility, heavy vehicles, distracted road users, pedestrians crossing active traffic lanes, and interaction with plant and equipment. Effective stop-slow operations are critical to preventing collisions, protecting workers and the public, maintaining orderly traffic flow, and ensuring that worksites remain compliant and controlled under live-traffic conditions.

The course assessment focuses on your ability to interpret and apply stop-slow traffic control requirements, make informed judgements about risk controls and safe positioning, and recognise the practical steps required to manage vehicles and pedestrians under changing site conditions. You will be required to demonstrate how you access, interpret and confirm work instructions and traffic guidance scheme requirements, plan traffic control tasks to suit site conditions, and apply workplace policies, procedures, and jurisdictional safety and environmental protection requirements relevant to stop-slow operations.

By successfully completing this course assessment, you will have demonstrated that you can interpret and apply the core requirements for controlling vehicle and pedestrian traffic using stop-slow bats, including planning to traffic guidance schemes, applying PPE and emergency procedures, using communication devices effectively, directing vehicles and pedestrians safely, managing queues and changing traffic conditions, coordinating with other personnel and pilot vehicles where required, and completing reporting and housekeeping responsibilities—confirming your readiness to perform stop-slow traffic control duties safely within live traffic environments.

TOPICS COVERED IN THIS ASSESSMENT:

This course assessment is based on the following topics:

1.    Selecting and correctly wearing required personal protective equipment for live traffic control duties

2.    Accessing, interpreting and confirming work instructions, traffic guidance scheme requirements and planning the traffic control task

3.    Applying workplace policies, procedures, and jurisdictional safety and environmental protection requirements relevant to stop-slow operations

4.    Obtaining and applying site emergency procedures and preparing for accidents and emergency situations

5.    Selecting traffic control tools and equipment (including stop-slow bat and communication devices), checking serviceability, and rectifying or reporting faults

6.    Adjusting and operating approved communication devices to site requirements (e.g. hand-held radios or telephones)

7.    Directing vehicle traffic using the stop-slow bat with visibly clear and unobstructed hand signals

8.    Directing pedestrian traffic safely, including managing higher-risk pedestrian groups such as people with mobility issues, prams and cyclists

9.    Monitoring traffic flow continuously, repositioning as required, and adjusting actions for changing traffic conditions

10. Positioning and managing waiting vehicles safely within the traffic guidance scheme, including controlling queues and maintaining safe separation

11. Coordinating traffic control operations with a pilot vehicle in a shuttle flow arrangement where required

12. Communicating instructions and messages to other personnel, confirming understanding, and clarifying as needed to avoid miscommunication

13. Participating in risk assessment and management processes, identifying hazards, applying hierarchy of control, and recommending risk control measures

14. Managing traffic offenders, including identifying/reporting offenders and completing incident reporting requirements

15. Completing housekeeping activities, including confirming and removing signs/devices as required, cleaning/checking/storing equipment, and reporting environmental damage or potential future damage
