Course Overview
Lines and Structures Fundamentals (LSF) is a course designed for anyone preparing to visit Transpower’s transmission line worksites in the field for the first time, or for those who have not been to a site within the past 3 years.
It is also required for anyone who has not completed other introductory lines training before heading out on an initial site visit.

Induction and Supervision
The induction to the site and safety briefing must be carried out by a suitably competent individual. Appropriate supervision must be provided while on site. Guidance on who can provide this supervision can be obtained from the employee’s organisation.

Course Components
There are TWO (2) parts to this course:
- Lines and Structures Fundamentals (e-learning module): This e-learning module provides general information about transmission line sites, what to consider before heading to site, and what to be aware of at lines worksites. Completion of this module is required before heading out to the site.
- Field Site Induction checklist (PDF): This checklist is to be used for the field site visit. It should be printed out and reviewed thoroughly to ensure all necessary preparations are completed before leaving for the site. This will help ensure minimum requirements are prepared for and safety is maintained when on site.
The checklist should be shared with the supervising individual during the site visit to ensure the visitor is well-informed.

Retain in records
The signed and completed Field Site Induction checklist should be retained and provided to the person responsible for training records within the organisation and must be kept by the company for a period of TWO (2) years.

Important Note
This course is specifically for those visiting transmission line sites in the field. It is not suitable for those taking part in induction for substations, as the requirements for substation induction are covered in the Substation Induction (SSI) and/or Substation Entry 1 (SE1) courses.
