This standard specifies the clothing that must be worn by an accredited traffic controller while performing “traffic control functions” in Queensland. The document is to be read in conjunction with the Traffic Controller Accreditation Scheme Approved Procedure (TCASAP), which requires that traffic controllers wear clothing in accordance with this standard. The latest edition of the TCASAP and this standard are available on the TMR website: http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au. The standard provides flexibility by giving traffic controllers a range of clothing options to achieve a high visibility outcome. Clothing should be chosen to achieve a high level of comfort for the traffic controller, taking into account environmental factors and specific worksite requirements. In all cases personal safety of the traffic controller at the site is to be the highest priority consideration. The document also provides clarity about the application of the standard, including information about the specific circumstances in which accredited traffic controllers are not required to wear clothing that conforms to the specification.
