Quick answer
A streetworks training matrix lists operatives and supervisors against the NRSWA units and any signing, lighting and guarding records their roles need — with expiry dates. Download this free Excel template and keep operative and supervisor units on separate columns. FieldClear can import later. It does not issue street-works qualifications.
What’s in the template
An Excel matrix for contractors whose permits live in one system and whose NRSWA tickets live in a spreadsheet. Units expire individually; a single “NRSWA current” cell hides which unit actually lapsed.
- Worker rows with name, role and worker type — so operatives, supervisors and traffic-management partners sit on the same sheet.
- Conditional formatting for expired, expiring and current dates.
- A distinction between blank (no record held) and N/A (not required).
- An evidence location column for certificates and card images.
- A role requirements sheet you can match to the grades you actually employ.
Example columns for street works
| Example column | Typical use | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|
| NRSWA operative units | Excavation and reinstatement | List the units you actually assign |
| NRSWA supervisor units | If the person supervises | Not covered by operative units |
| Signing, lighting and guarding | If assigned separately | Do not merge into NRSWA blindly |
| CSCS / site card | If a principal contractor is on the job | Client dependent |
| First aid | If assigned to the gang | Night works need cover |
How to use it
- Add operatives, supervisors and any in-house TM staff.
- Record units, not a yes/no NRSWA cell.
- Enter expiry dates as DD/MM/YYYY.
- Use N/A when a column does not apply; leave blank only when missing.
- Review before permit start dates, not after.
- When the permit desk is chasing cards, upload for reminders.
Disclaimer
Example columns are not a mandatory list. Permit authorities and clients set their own evidence asks. This is not legal advice. A green cell is not a permit to occupy the highway.
Questions people ask before signing up
Is the training matrix template really free?
Yes. Download the Excel file and use it however you like, including commercially. There is no obligation to try the software.
What is a training matrix?
A training matrix is a grid of workers against the training, qualifications and cards their roles require. Each cell shows whether that person holds that requirement and when it expires. It is the quickest way to see where the gaps are across a workforce.
Can I import my existing Excel training matrix?
Yes. Upload an Excel or CSV file, map the columns to workers, roles, qualifications and expiry dates, then preview the result. Nothing is created until you confirm the import.
Does the software tell me which qualifications are legally required?
No. The system helps you track the requirements your organisation assigns. You remain responsible for determining what applies to your workers and activities. We do not provide legal or health and safety advice.
Can I track subcontractors?
Yes. Workers can be recorded as employees, subcontractors, agency workers or other worker types, and you can filter the matrix by type.
Can I store certificates?
Yes. Attach supporting evidence such as PDFs and images to worker records, so the certificate sits alongside the expiry date rather than in a separate folder.
Outgrown your spreadsheet?
Upload the same file and turn it into a live matrix with automatic expiry reminders.
