NZTA CODE OF PRACTICE (COPTTM) TEMPORARY TRAFFIC
MANAGEMENT CONTROL - WET (TTMC-W)
NZTA has a Code of Practice which specifies the standard of safety garment
that a worker must wear while working in or close to hazardous traffic
areas. The Temporary Traffic Management Control Code of Practice (CoPTTM)
states that each garment must include a certain area of fluorescent orange
fabric, and a specific belt and braces configuration of 50mm wide retroreflective
tape. This CoPTTM covers both the compliancy of the design
and the high visibility and retro-reflective material. A whole range of
garments are specified, including vests, overalls, rainwear, shirts and
polo’s.
Vests and some other miscellaneous garments (shirts and polos): Must have
an additional reflectorised tail (must be 150mm longer than the front) on
the rear of the garment. They must have a minimum 0.21m2 of compliant
orange material on the front and 0.27m2 on the back including tail.
Sleeves, non compliant collars and plackets are excluded. Garments and
reflective braces must be a specific length for a size S.
Overalls: Must have a minimum of 0.3m2 of compliant orange material on
both the front and back of the upper torso excluding sleeves and non
compliant collars. This must extend to a point above the knee .Single or
double hoops of retro-reflective tape must be added to both the sleeves and
legs. Reflective braces must be a specific length for a size S.
Long Sleeve Coat: Must have a minimum of 0.3m2 of compliant orange
material on both the front and back of the upper torso excluding sleeves
and non compliant collars. Single or double hoops of retro-reflective tape
must be added to the sleeves. Long Sleeve Coat and reflective braces must
be a specific length for a size S.
As part of the CoPTTM, manufacturers are required to test and certify
their garments at an NZTA approved testing laboratory. New compliance
letters TTMC-W (Temporary Traffic Management Control – Wet) must be
included on the compliant garments label to confirm that the garment meets
the requirements. The fluorescent orange fabric used with the TTMC-W
garments must comply to a ‘Wet’ luminance test (hence the ‘-W’ in TTMC-W).
The wet test means that the fluorescent orange fabric must still achieve a
certain luminance level, after influence of rainfall.
As of 31st January 2014, it will also be compulsory for NZTA Transit
garments to comply to the new CoPTTM standard.
Make sure your garment has the TTMC-W label, and is tested and certified
for the correct use.
