Railway & Construction Courses

This course is intended for existing COSS competency holders who wish to be re-certificated. The COSS is the person who is appointed to set up and maintain a safe system of work for a group (2 or more people) who are required to work on or near the line. This course aims to refresh existing COSS in the procedures required for the planning and implementing a safe system of work as well as assessing learners in their attitudes and behaviours while carrying out the role. The course also includes Personal Track Safety (PTS) re-certification & PC.

The COSS workplace assessment is for existing Sentinel card holders endorsed with probationary COSS to convert into full COSS within 4 months of a COSS course. Individuals who wish to maintain their certification must successfully complete COSS assessments. If a person fails to carry out their assessment within the correct timescale, they lose the competency and will have to undergo initial training to regain the competency. This workplace assessment incorporates Overhead Line and Conductor Rail Permit modules OLP/CRP/LLT.
