It is suggested that candidates attend An Introduction to Road Restraint Systems & Assessment of Need (RRS) before attending this course.
Aims & Objectives:
- To gain an appreciation of the need to assess highways for the use of Road Restraint Systems (RRS)
- To provide the candidate with an understanding of the processes and limitations of PRRSLA
- To understand the decision making processes required when selecting the assessment pathway within PRRSLA
- To apply the assessment output(s) in the highway environment
- To have knowledge of the available data sources that may influence the decision making processes
Course Outline:
- PRRSLA Limitations and Exclusions
Understanding usage and application
PRRSLA as a tool, including the selection process
RRS types excluded from assessment
Interpretation of withdrawn documentation
- Headline Data usage
- The PRRSLA Methodology:
Method A – Incident Driven Assessment
Method B – TAL 6/03
Method C – Risk Based Assessment
- Output considerations & Appendix 4/1
- Use of data for justification (Cost Benefit)
- Other considerations
Benefits of Attending:
Increased understanding of the PRRSLA process and its use within a risk based decision making assessment of need for road restraint systems.
Intended For:
- Those undertaking risk-based assessments of need (RRS)
- Those managing highway engineers undertaking risk-based assessments of need (RRS)
- Inspectors (RRS and Structures) and Road Safety Engineers who wish to understand how the PRRSLA toolkit assists with the decision making process and the implications of RRS installation
Pre-Course Requirements:
Candidates are to indicate prior to the training if they:
a: have used PRRSLA and if so, which models
b: have access to PRRSLA, or
c: have no understanding of PRRSLA
