Hunter Transmission Project

The Transgrid Worker Safety, Authorisation and Training System process to work on the Hunter Transmission Project is completed in two parts: business registration, and worker registration, including induction bookings.

We suggest you read through the instructions and give yourself time to source the information needed to work on this project. Your administrators will complete this process for your business and each worker.

If your business is already registered, you may login to the system via Pegasus Gateway, and follow the instructions under Stage 2: Register Your Workers to ensure each employee is site-ready for this project.

Video and document user guides can be found from the Help and Resources page.

Please note: All subcontractors must be registered in WSAT and linked to the Principal or Lead Contractor. This is initiated by the Principal or Lead contractor sending an email invitation to the subcontractor to register their business in WSAT. Once business registration is complete the subcontractor will then be able to register their workers and book any associated inductions and training.

Video and document user guides can be found from the Help and Resources page.

A tax invoice will be supplied on payment. If your workers hold current registrations in the Transgrid WSAT system, there is no additional cost to add their roles on this site.

Select Work Roles Add Site and select Hunter Transmission Project. Workers must hold these roles, which will be auto-assigned or selected:

Mandatory:

    • HTP Site Induction – Site Access Role (auto-assigned)
    • HSE Contractor Induction (must select for each worker)
    • Trade or task role they complete on site (must select at least one for each worker)

Step 4 > Upload documents

Step 5 > Book site induction

You will next book each worker’s online induction to work on the Hunter Transmission Project.

Workers will receive an email with a link and login details for the online induction, so they must have their own unique email address. Their result will be sighted and signed off by the relevant Transgrid Site Representative at the project site.

The online Transgrid Site Induction is to be completed in addition to any other site inductions, familiarisations mandated by Transgrid, head contractors or any company that the worker is completing work for.

Contractor cards

Upon document approval and induction completion, the roles will be applied to your worker’s profile and contractor cards issued. The contractor card will be sent to the workers nominated address, this could be your business’s address. Please ensure that all workers receive their card prior to commencing work at site.

It’s important that you keep worker’s details up to date, and you’ll be emailed about expiring documents and information to stay compliant. You may also elect to invite your workers to the Transgrid Worker Portal, which allows them to manage their own profile. Visit the Worker Portal page for more information.
