Assessment
Participants will be required to pass theory and practical assessments to achieve competency.
The journey to becoming a qualified HS is undertaken in stages, often referred to as ‘blended delivery’ via the following methods:
Stage 1:
Classroom theory training (off-job assessment): Consists of in-class face to face training with a qualified Trainer/Assessor which gives insight and provides instruction on how to assess risk, source and interpret information, identify, prioritise and implement worksite protection, in accordance with the Network Rules and Procedures. You will be required to successfully complete Written Assessments prior to commencing Stage 2.
Stage 2:
On Job Workbook (OJWB). After passing the theory assessments, you will be issued with a OJWB which covers the practical requirements of each HS level and provides evidence of your knowledge and experience gained from exposure to ‘live’ operational situations. This component must be supervised by a qualified TfNSW Handsignaller Level 2. These qualified Handsignallers are often referred to as safeworking coaches/mentors or subject matter experts (SMEs), they provide instruction and demonstration relating to the activities/tasks outlined in the OJWB and ‘sign off’, attesting you have met the required criteria to attempt a Final Assessment, with a qualified Trainer/Assessor.
Note: To work on TfNSW Network, your OJWB provider must be a company approved to supply safeworking (HS) resources to TfNSW and authorised to enrol you into the Final Assessment.
Stage 3:
Final Competency Assessment: This needs to be undertaken at the completion of the OJWB and is conducted at Petersham Training College, by TfNSW.
Enrolment to sit the Final Assessment can only be made by a company approved to supply safeworking (HS) resources.
On Job Workbook Training Placement

To assist you with completing the on-job workbook component, there is several specialised companies who are members of a safeworking panel, pre-approved by Transport for NSW to supply safeworking resources for projects undertaken on their Network.
