WHSWR definition of traffic route
route for pedestrian traffic, vehicles or both
risks associated with driver
competence training qualifications fitness D&A
risks associated with vehicle
suitability condition safety equipment ergonomics load security
risks associated with journey
scheduling time distance driving hours weather stress traffic volumes passengers
other risks
access / egress - falls breakdown theft coupling / uncoupling fire refuelling manual handling of loads reversing road rage s/t/f dangerous goods transport
arrangements ref shared site
cooperate & coordinate
controller of site takes overall responsibility
discussion / consultation
info for visitors
workplace routes to use vehicles & eqpmnt on site site risks & controls other people on site - contractors, visiting drivers
features of temp works, eg construction sites
traffic routes change as work progresses
HSG136
workplace transport safety
elements of HSG136
safe site - design
safe site - activity
safe vehicle
safe driver
safe site considerations
management of deliveries to limit vehicles on site site security to manage vehicles no passengers, eg children person in overall responsibility safe reversing trained drivers maintained / lit roads no unauthorised persons site rules communicated separate vehicles and pedestrians banksman horns at blind corners ignition keys held securely
traffic route considerations
purpose of route type of vehicles volume of traffic junctions lighting separate / physically protected pedestrian routes signage avoid sharp bends / overhead obstructions suitable width routes weight / length of vehicles suitable road surface adverse weather conditions (salt bins)
loading / sheeting / coupling risks
forklift driver competence posture / overreaching s/t/f w@h inadvertent vehicle movement
environmental considerations
visibility / lighting - avoid glare / shadow gradients edges over which vehicle may fall surface condition / contamination noise obscuring sound of vehicles
controls to segregate vehicles and pedestrians
separate gates for vehicles & pedestrians
clearly marked separate routes
barriers / railings that can’t be climbed through
adequate visibility at crossing points
bridges / subways where heavy traffic flow
raised walkways
prevent pedestrian access when vehicles moving
controls where segregation not possible
site induction / briefing signage of suitable width safe refuges one way systems banksman for reversing painted traffic routes pedestrian detection on AGVs mirrors at blind spots good lighting esp at crossings, entrances, blind spots audible / visual warnings on vehicles hi viz PPE speed limits speed limiters
controls ref height / width restrictions
signage
paint markings
hazard tape
site rule contents
clear well understood communicated position of driver while vehicle loaded location of keys no reversing without permission welfare facility location pedestrian routes go / no go areas PPE requirements priorities / give ways
safe vehicle considerations
maintained - regular suitable for task periodic checks pre-use checks safety critical info in cab (height, width) ergonomics / WBV seatbelts helmets for 2 wheeled vehicles speed limiters / vehicle trackers ROPS / FOPS
safe driver considerations
competent
fit
capable
safe driver controls
check licences competence assessment LGV & PCV - 35 hrs training every 5 years reliable / mature legal age restrictions
driver health checks
full trunk, neck, limb movement
good eyesight
ability to hear instructions / warning signals
