- Up front
- The requirements go into the documents long before anyone drives out
The competence requirements are set in a contract document long before anyone stands on the road. Level 3.0 is for you if you work at that stage: you need to know what can be required, what the requirement means for whoever has to meet it, and how you follow it up without the work stopping.
What the level is about
- How the framework is structured and how the requirements are worded in contract documents.
- The division of responsibility between client, contractor and subcontractor.
- The traffic arrangement plan: what it has to answer and who decides on it.
- Follow-up and inspection during the contract, including spot checks and deviations.
- What happens when the conditions change and the plan no longer matches the road.
Set requirements that can be staffed
The usual consequence of a vaguely worded competence requirement is not that somebody cheats, but that the contract stops while somebody is trained. A requirement set properly can be read by whoever has to staff the job, and checked by whoever has to approve it. That is why this level exists on the client side as much as on the contractor side.
Common questions
- Do I need the step 1 levels if I never go out on the road?
- Not for the management work itself. But anyone who goes out on site to see how it looks is doing road work while they are there, and then the general level applies as it does to everyone else.
- Does 3.0 apply on the client side too?
- Yes. It is aimed at leading roles on both the contractor's and the client's side, because the requirements are set on one side and met on the other. It is the same text both have to be able to read.
- Is the course enough?
- No. 3.0 also requires a passed certification exam at Trafikverket. The course is the preparation and covers the substance; the exam is booked and taken at Trafikverket.
Set the competence requirements right from the start
