Mobile Plant Safety
 |
Hazard: Being struck by or run over by a vehicle; vehicles going out of control.
All employees and visitors should be aware that the greatest risk of fatal injury at the workplace is
from interaction with vehicles. They must follow Plant / Site rules and remain vigilant at all times for their
own safety and the safety of others.
Control Measures
- You must not drive any vehicle on site unless trained and authorized to do so.
- Always drive your machine with due care and consideration for others.
- Drivers must carry out daily vehicle checks and report any defects or poor road conditions
immediately.
- Never allow passengers to ride on the vehicle.
- Ensure that all loads are secure and evenly distributed and within the load-carrying capacity of the machine. Loose loads must be tied down.
- Avoid harsh acceleration and braking.
- Vehicle operators should ensure that flashing amber beacons, reversing lights, reversing sirens and other reversing aids such as CCTV are operational and clean.
- Drive at a speed where any obstructions in the road will not present a danger.
- Never take for granted that everyone else is on the lookout for you.
- Ensure you know the position of any overhead cables at the quarry and never drive with the tipper body in the raised position.
- Pedestrians must wear high visibility clothing.
- Pedestrians must ensure they stay outside of the vehicle’s operating radius and turning circle and ensure that the driver is aware that they are in the area.
- Pedestrians should not approach vehicles unless the driver is aware of their intentions and has signaled that it is safe to approach.
