Control measures are set out in the hierarchy of control described below. Risks to work health and safety should be identified and eliminated. If it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate them, they should be minimised by implementing controls at the top of the hierarchy below before consideration is given to using lower order controls. USE THE HIERARCHY OF RISK CONTROLS: Elimination Road, footpath, cycle path and shared use path closures. Substitution Program the work to be conducted when there is no risk or significantly less risk present. Isolation Use approved temporary road safety barriers to isolate workers and work activities from road users. Engineering Controls Temporary by-pass roads. Traffic engineering, such as the use of directional signage, insert chicane type devices to slow path users / traffic down, (e.g. workmen ahead, speed reduction, lane status signs, as well as cones, bollards, delineators, barrier boards etc.) Administrative Controls Safe working practices put in place, training instruction, nationally recognised traffic controller training and information provided to workers. Personal Protective & Safety Equipment (PPE) High visibility garments worn when working in the vicinity of moving traffic (up to 5 m) or plant. When selecting high visibility garments consideration needs to be given to the time of day, colour of plant on site and the surrounding environment. Weekly monitoring / inspections of the Traffic Management / Control Plan to be carried out to ensure all traffic control devices are as per the TTM Plan.
