Employer questions
WARP Employment Standards
Criminal offences that would generally make an applicant unsuitable for accreditation as a traffic controller includes:
- Offences of a violence nature (such as serious assault, rape, attempted homicide), manslaughter, burglary, and major drug offences
- where convictions were recorded in a Magistrate’s Court in the past 5 years, or
- where convictions were recorded in a District Court or higher court in the past 10 years
- Offences such as fraud, assault, drug possession, theft, break and enter
- where convictions were recorded in a Magistrate’s Court or higher court within the past three years
Any offences that can be considered by WARP in making a decision about the person’s suitability.
WARP will also consider any similar offences (to the above) committed outside Western Australia.
A traffic controller applicant must have held a provisional or open driver license (Australian or Foreign) for at least one year within the past 5 years.
An adverse traffic history can indicate that the person is not road safety conscious or has a disregard for the road rules. Accordingly, their suitability to control traffic around road works sites in potentially dangerous situations would be questioned.
Therefore, applicants may be rejected for accreditation on the basis of an adverse traffic history.
Persons with the following history would be considered unsuitable for accreditation:
- an established pattern of serious offences such as unlicensed driving, dangerous driving, or driving under the influence
- multiple license suspensions over the past few years on account of points accumulation
In conducting an assessment of a person’s offence history record, the following factors are considered:
- The nature of offences committed, the relationship between these offences and the requirements of the accredited role
- When the offence occurred (more recent offences are generally more relevant than earlier offences)
- The type and severity of the penalty imposed (such as: prison term, community order, fine)
- If the penalty was imposed by a Magistrate’s Court, or a higher court such as a District Court or the Supreme Court
- Any pattern of re-offending / frequency of offences
