Power System Safety Rules

The purpose of Transgrid’s Power System Safety Rules is to keep workers safe when they are exposed to the hazards of working on a transmission network.

Advancing our Power Systems Safety Rules – Release of version 5.4

We have recently completed a review of our current PSSR. The goal of the review was to ensure that our PSSR, is set up to ensure we have a workforce with the right skills to meet the rapid growth strategy and respond to feedback from our Delivery Partners.

For further information on these PSSR categories, you can access the Safe Work Handbooks located at; https://www.transgrid.com.au/safety/workplace-safety/power-system-safety-rules

More detail on changes to PSSR 3.3 and PSSR 6.1

Assessed as high-risk roles, Safety Observer and Mobile Plant Assessment are now separate authorisations under Category 8 – Mobile Plant.

This means PSSR category 3.3 and 6.1 will be split into 3 roles. For more Information download PSSR 3.3_6.1 Changes.

Important note: Not every person who held PSSR 3.3 or 6.1 must hold the mobile plant PSSR roles. Our Delivery Partners (contractors) should discuss this with their Transgrid representative to determine adequate resources based on the work activities.

Who do I contact if I have questions about the system?

You can contact Avetta, who manages the system on behalf of Transgrid. Visit Contact Us for details.

How is my personal information protected?

Transgrid respects the privacy of persons utilising this system and is committed to protecting and safeguarding your personal information. Transgrid’s Privacy Policy provides information on the reasons Transgrid collects your personal information, the types of personal information Transgrid collects and how it is kept secure.

Transgrid requires contractors to register and maintain their compliance in their online Worker Safety, Authorisation and Training (WSAT) system. The system is managed by Avetta on our behalf, workforce management software and safety experts. Please find their Privacy Policy here.

Am I a direct contractor or a subcontractor?

As you register your company in the WSAT system, you will need to select whether you are a direct contractor or a subcontractor to Transgrid. Both direct and subcontractors must register.

  • Direct Contractor – invoice Transgrid directly
  • Sub-contractor – does not invoice Transgrid directly. You sub-contract to a Direct Contractor

How do I link my subcontractors to my company? OR How do I link to our Direct Contractor onsite?

The linking between a Principal and Subcontractor is typically initiated by the Principal or Lead contractor sending you an invitation to register by email. A Subcontractor can also identify their relationship with a Principal or Lead Contractor themselves. Please review the Company Relationships User Guide here for the step by step process.

As a subcontractor to a Principal or Lead Contractor you ONLY need to register your business name, which is free of charge. You are not required to provide evidence of insurances or complete a Safety and Environment Management System (SEMS) review.

How do I download a document on a mobile device?

To download a document from the Learning Management System on your mobile:

  • Click on the forward arrow, allowing you to view all pages in the document. When you get to the last page, tick to acknowledge.
  • Press Click to download and select where to save it on your mobile.

Who should have administration rights for my company in the Transgrid WSAT System?

Only current employees from your company who access to maintain company compliance and worker records should have administration rights in the system.

How do I maintain and remove company administration rights?

It is important to inactivate users in the system that leave your business so they are unable to access your company’s data after they have left. You can change/inactivate users in Onsite Track Easy by following the instructions in this procedure: Users & Access Rights

How do I offboard workers?

When a worker leaves your business it is important to end their employment in the system so they can no longer access site representing your company.

This will also turn off the reminders for expiring documents and training for workers that you no longer need to maintain, keeping your company data up to date. You can end employment of workers by following the steps in this procedure: User Guide – Ending Worker Employment in Worker Portal

Can you assist with VPN Configuration issues?

Regarding the potential issue of VPN blocking traffic to/from clui or poweredbyonsite domains, we acknowledge the importance of addressing this concern. While we are unable to provide assistance with specific environmental configurations, it is plausible that if the VPN is restricting traffic to/from these domains, it could be a possible cause for the encountered errors.

It’s worth noting that we have clients successfully using various VPNs without any issues, indicating that this problem may be isolated to the specific VPN configuration or, if not affecting all users, to common environmental variables (such as third-party extensions or security software) on the users’ end.

For a more tailored resolution, we recommend reaching out to your IT support team, as they possess the necessary knowledge of the environments and the VPN in question. They can provide targeted assistance and ensure a smoother experience for users.
