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

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
