Transmission Lineworker big

Transmission Lineworker

Across Australia, network owners require their transmission networks to be constructed and maintained to high standards of skill, professionalism and safety to ensure the satisfactory operation of the National Grid.

The purpose of setting minimum levels of competence for Lineworkers is to achieve the required minimum quality standards to prevent injury to workers, protect the public and their property from harm and prevent damage to assets.
