The Transgrid Worker Safety, Authorisation and Training System process to work on the Transmission Lines Refurbishment Projects 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.

Step 4 > Upload documents
Your role selections will determine the competency documents (licences, cards and qualifications) which you will need to upload in the system to prove your worker can perform the chosen role/s. Pegasus will validate the documents you have uploaded during the registration of your workers.
Step 5 > Book site induction
You will next book each worker’s online induction to work on the Transmission Lines Refurbishment Projects.
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.
