Highways barrier/VRS

[Eddie Coyle]

Morning all, has any one done any barrier training coures to enable them to remove/re install vrs on highways? Is it just a week long classroom course and then your qualified or are we looking at a longer process? Also woud we need a diferent type of insurance?

 

cheers

I've done the course for designing vrs, but not installing/maintaining.

 

Have you got tm qualifications? You will probably want some varied abilities for tm if you'll be in situations where you have to take vrs down.

 

I imagine that ucb will be easy, tcb, rope systems etc might be a bit more of a challenge. Think you need a thermometer with you from memory.

I bet it will be as interesting as the signing and lighting course we did...
