Each chapter begins with a list of specific learning objectives and the correlating job performance requirements (JPRs) in NFPA 1072. The JPRs are indexed in Appendix A for students and instructors to locate the exact pages to locate the applicable content.
Photos, tables, and graphics help students master important concepts. Key terms and definitions are highlighted, and Cautions and Warnings emphasize critical safety information.

The second edition of The Army PA Handbook is scheduled to be available in the summer of 2021. It has been updated and greatly expanded to 70 chapters with contributions from over 175 PAs and medical professionals. It will be available in print as well as online, including additional online-only chapters. The Army PA has an important role throughout Army medicine, and the handbook describes the myriad positions and organizations in which PAs play leadership roles in management and patient care.
The handbook was created as a resource for PAs to share their knowledge with the next generation of PAs, and as a guide for career plan development. All of the previous 39 chapters from the first handbook have been updated with new information that includes lessons learned and tips for success. Additionally, this handbook updates the qualifications (skills, experiences, and training) for each position. The sections of the handbook are the Army PA profession; training, certification and career management; PA positions and roles; and topics of interest. Some of the 31 new chapters are: Global Health Engagement, role of the JIATF (Joint Interagency Task force) PA, and virtual health care delivery.
The chapters were authored by experienced PAs and contain appropriate references for the readers to access current information. Additionally, the handbook establishes a historical documentation of the evolution of our profession over the years. The future generation of PAs must continue to update the handbook as both the operational environment and the PA profession evolve.
The Introduction to the Road Planning and Design Manual (2nd edition) explains the restructure of information in the second edition. It outlines the relationship between this manual, various Austroads guides, and other Transport and Main Roads publications.
Volume 2: Road Planning Guidelines previously adopted the Austroads Guide to Road Transport Planning as Volume 2 of this manual. These guidelines are now superseded. Alternate content is being reviewed.
Volume 3: Guide to Road Design includes the road design criteria and exceptions for Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads practice. It informs designers of the relationship between criteria in the Road Planning and Design Manual (1st edition), the Austroads Guide to Road Design and other publications.
The department of Transport and Main Roads has agreed in principle to adopt the standards published in Austroads Guides.
Transport and Main Roads seeks to eliminate duplication between the Road Planning and Design Manual and the Austroads Guide to Road Design. In the interest of national uniformity, this manual will ultimately only address aspects that are unique or important to Queensland practice which:
Slide 3: Harmonisation of technical standards
As Austroads members all state road authorities are participating in a national harmonisation of technical documents. As part of this initiative, Transport and Main Roads has agreed to adopt the Austroads guides as the primary technical standard, while documenting any local practices and variations that apply in Queensland.
Slide 5: Supplements to Volume 3
Supplements address the aspects of road design that are considered unique or important to Queensland practice because they: vary from national practice due to local environmental conditions (e.g. soil types, climate) vary from national practice because of differing funding practices take account of research that supersedes the Austroads guidance require more detail than in the Austroads guides, or satisfy local legislative requirements. When applied in Queensland, the supplements therefore take precedence over the corresponding part of the Austroads Guide to Road Design.
Slide 7: In summary
In summary, the Austroads Guide to Road Design is the primary technical standard for road planning and design in Queensland. Queensland variations are documented in the Road Planning and Design Manual, Volume 3: Guide to Road Design. This content is being transitioned into a series of supplements which must be read in conjunction with the Austroads guide.
