CrewRingThe traffic controller records TfNSW asks for.
On Transport for NSW and council road contracts, the G10 specification turns the two-year rule into paperwork. You submit a procedure before any traffic control work starts, then keep three details for every worker until the contract ends.
| Worker | Card number and issue date | Most recent traffic control work |
|---|---|---|
| Dave R. | TCR ending 4471, 9 March 2023 | 29 September 2026 |
| Tom W. | TCR ending 0412, 14 August 2024 | 29 September 2026 |
| Aisha N. | TCR ending 1180, 3 February 2026 | Not needed, card under two years old |
| Mel K. | IMP ending 2093, 21 June 2022 | 18 September 2026 |
Three details for every traffic control worker.
Clause 2.4.5 of G10, edition 8 (January 2026) asks for a procedure showing how you’ll meet the business duties in clauses 184B and 184C of the NSW WHS Regulation 2025. For each traffic control worker, it should record and maintain:
Their name
Every traffic control worker you put on the contract, including your subcontractors’ workers.Card number and issue date
The number on their SafeWork NSW Traffic Control Work Training Card and the date it was issued.Their most recent traffic control work
The date they last did traffic control work, where they trained or were issued the card more than two years earlier.
G10 is written for transport infrastructure contracts let by Transport for NSW or by NSW councils. The design and construct (TS 03401.2) and maintenance (TS 03401.3, G10M) versions have the same clause 2.4.5.
The procedure is a Hold Point.
Submitting the procedure is a Hold Point. Temporary traffic management work on the site using your traffic control workers waits until the Principal has considered the procedure and released the Hold Point.
It doesn’t end at the start of the job. G10 makes you responsible for ongoing monitoring of worker compliance and for keeping records that show it. When workers change, you check the new worker’s training or currency, and the records stay available for TfNSW audit or SafeWork NSW inspection for the duration of the contract.
The Traffic Manager keeps them
Where the contract names a Traffic Manager, their duties include keeping records of the traffic control workers’ training to ensure compliance with clause 2.4.5. They must hold a current PWZ qualification and at least five years of recent temporary traffic management experience on similar projects.Contractors must be registered
Contractors doing traffic control work, including your subcontractors, must be registered under the TfNSW Registration Scheme, Category G, Provision of Traffic Control.Cards on site
Traffic control workers must keep their card, or other evidence of training allowed under clause 184J(1) of the WHS Regulation 2025, available for inspection.
A procedure that holds up.
G10 doesn’t prescribe a format. This is one way to run it, built around the two-year rule the records are there to prove.
Collect the card before the first shift
A photo of the card, its number and issue date, and a lookup on Verify NSW.Record the last date of that type of work
From your own shift records, or for a new starter, from their work history. Only needed once the card is more than two years old.Re-check when the crew changes
G10 makes you responsible for checking each new worker’s training or currency before they start on the contract.Review it on a schedule
A weekly look for anyone whose card is more than two years old and whose last work of that type is getting old.Keep it where the Traffic Manager can find it
One place, for the whole contract, ready for a TfNSW audit or a SafeWork NSW inspector.
How long to keep them.
Traffic Control at Work Sites, the standard G10 is read with, says in section 17.1 that retention depends on the document and the contract, and that training and project records may need to be kept for up to seven years or more. Records must be stored securely and stay accessible for audit, legal and regulatory purposes.
Where CrewRing fits.
It holds the raw material for the record. The procedure, and the call on each worker, stay with you.
What CrewRing does
- Keeps each worker’s card photo, card number and issue date on file.
- Has a person on your team verify each card before it counts.
- Keeps every shift against the worker with its date, which is where “most recent work” comes from.
What it doesn’t do
- Produce a G10 report or submit anything to Transport for NSW.
- Work out whether each worker meets the two-year rule.
- Check cards against Verify NSW.
