How can I prevent mobile plant from running over pedestrians?
There are a number of methods that can be used to control the risk of pedestrian injuries: • Separating pedestrians from mobile plant by preventing access to areas where mobile plant is operating • Traffic management systems that control the movement of plant and pedestrians, for instance providing separate walkways for pedestrians and pedestrian barriers at building entrances • Communication systems between plant operators and pedestrians • Flagmen/spotters may be useful for controlling traffic in localised areas; and • Personal protective equipment such as high visibility vests.
