  2. WHAT IS TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT ? • Traffic management is the control of pedestrians, vehicles and plant that are present on construction sites.

  3. Controlling vehicles • Each site should have a traffic management plan, this is a visual layout of the site that shows structures, roads, site storage, compound, pedestrian routes etc. • (depending what's on your site)

  4. 1000’s of people every year are injured after being struck by moving vehicles • EIGHT people were killed during 2005/6 • Where possible, pedestrians and vehicles/plant need to be segregated

  5. CARS AND VANS • If you drive your car or van on site you should…………………………….. • Only park in designated parking areas • Don’t block pedestrian routes • Don’t block traffic routes • Obey the speed limit

  6. WHO IS AT RISK ? • Everyone who enters the site ! • Tradesmen • Delivery drivers • Residents • Visitors • YOU !!!

  7. What to do • Introduce segregated pedestrian walkways • Introduce speed limits • Reduce the need for reversing vehicles, such as introduce a ONE WAY system • Use a qualified BANKSMAN to control deliveries and reversing vehicles • Designated loading/unloading areas

  8. PEDESTRIANS • Keep safe by following these basic rules………………………………. • Keep to designated footpaths • Wear your Hi-Viz clothing so you can be seen • If you have to walk near, always get the operator’s attention before walking by any machines or plant

  9. PLANT OPERATION • If you are plant operator, follow these basic rules…………………………….. • Wear the seatbelt if one is fitted • Have the flashing beacon turned “on” to let everyone know your machine is active • Ensure you undertake your daily maintenance checks on your machine BEFORE you start work

  10. DELIVERIES • With the amount of materials that are usually delivered to site, you need to be aware of the potential dangers that exist • The telehandler reversing and moving short/long distances with loads • Mobile cranes swinging loads off flatbed lorries and into position • Excavations at roadside/traffic route
