RISK ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR DETOUR

GAC PIC R 7514

Requirements
All authorities, bodies and organizations responsible for all types of roads to
which the public have access, are strongly recommended to make compliance
with the requirements of RC ROAD DEPARTMENT and Moroor (traffic police) a
condition of contract in the case of works carried out on their behalf.

All signing must confirm to the Moroor (traffic Police) and RC road Department
and RC industrial Security Department.

Everyone on site has a personal responsibility to behave safely. Under the

Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, employers have duties to protect their
employees from dangers to their health and safety and to protect others who
might be affected by the work activity (for example pedestrians, cyclists,
equestrians and motorists). These include proper arrangements for design
(including planning and risk assessment) and management (including
supervision) of the works.
The Temporary Traffic Management designer must be suitably qualified and have
a good working knowledge of the above documents and bring to the attention of
RC Construction Department, RC road Department for any deviations or non-
compliances. Where such deviations or non-compliances adversely affect the
safety of workers or the general public, a specific risk assessment should be
carried out and any mitigation measures necessary to reduce the risk to as low
as reasonably practicable should be implemented. Your supervisor, manager or
other competent person is encouraged to consult (highway authority) to discuss
safe methods of working that have minimum impact upon highway users.

The developer shall submit a program me of works, stating the start date and
duration of the works along with a traffic management layout required prior to
approval being given for commencement of works on the highway.

The installation of foul and surface water sewers within the highway will require
careful consideration of the Traffic Management Plan so as to prevent the need
for a road closures and to minimize disruption to local traffic, emergency services
and bus services.

 Responsibilities
In accordance with ‘Safety at Street Works and Road works – A code of practice’
it is your responsibility to:

• Ensure that the correct procedures have been followed for works that
involve the need for prior consultation, consent or agreement (e.g. highway
closures, working in the vicinity of railways and/or tramways, etc.);
• Ensure before you start that a site specific risk assessment has been
carried out, paying particular attention to the requirements of highway
users, including pedestrians and vulnerable users such as disabled
people. If circumstances change, you should consider whether the risk
assessment needs revising;
• Ensure before you start that the works site layout has been planned,
necessary equipment has been identified and that you know how you will
set the site out;
• Understand and implement pre-planned site safety requirements before
starting the works;
• Sign, light, guard and maintain your works safely at all times;
• Ensure that your works remain compliant and safe as works progress or
following any alteration;
• Ensure that the safety of yourself and others who pass near or through the
works;
• Consult your supervisor, manager or other competent person immediately
if you are unsure about any requirements contained in your work
instruction; and
• Ensure that the work team understands all key safety issues and the local
site risk assessment related to the activity.

Risk Assessment
A risk assessment must be carried out for all works before work begins. The risk
assessment must take account of road layout and speed of traffic, the works to
be undertaken, location, duration and restoration of work site to original state.
The risk assessment or method statement may identify additional signing, lighting
and guarding that is needed to ensure the safety of road users and operatives.

These are some of the things you should consider when making your
assessment of on-site risks before starting.

Look at the road

• Are there awkward or complex junctions?
• Are the road or footway widths too narrow to allow the safe use of the
standard layouts?
• How much visibility do approaching road users have? – consider bends,
crests of hills, trees and bushes, parked vehicles.
• Are there any railway level crossings or tramways that will be affected?
• Are there any overhead cables?

GAC PIC R 7514 Page 2 of 10 12/07/2019

 • Are there any other works going on, or other traffic management measures
in place, nearby?
• Are your works near permanent traffic signals or signs? If so, could they
obstruct above-ground or sub-surface detectors, signal heads or signs?
Contact the highway authority if this is a possibility.

Look at the traffic

• Is the intended type of traffic control appropriate for the prevailing traffic
flow? – what about the number of heavy or large vehicles passing?
• What is the speed limit, and does a significant amount of traffic appear to
be travelling faster than the speed limit?
• What is the type or make up of the traffic? – e.g. cars, heavy or large
vehicles?
• Is there a cycle lane? Are there many cyclists using the route?
• Will bus routes or bus stops be affected?

Look at the local area

• Are there likely to be frequent deliveries to shops or premises? – delivery
vehicles may park in a way that blocks signs etc. or reduces road width.
• Will the works restrict access to premises that have a lot of traffic entering
or leaving? e.g. schools, large stores, car parks, fast-food stores –
particularly consider right turning traffic.
• What are the needs of the emergency services? – e.g. are there nearby
police, ambulance or fire stations?
• Are there facilities for disabled people, e.g. parking bays, and can these be
avoided?

Look at pedestrians
• Consider both safe routes and the standards of fencing/barriers needed to
protect pedestrians from risks from inside the work space.
• Is there a high level of pedestrian traffic? – consider users of pushchairs,
wheelchairs and mobility scooters.
• Are there significant numbers of people with reduced mobility or walking
difficulties (who may have problems with steps, cable protectors, or
uneven surfaces), or blind and partially sighted people? – consider any
nearby hospitals, surgeries, residential homes etc.
• Are there many children around? – consider nearby schools, parks,
playgrounds etc.
• Will pedestrian crossings or school crossing points be affected?
• Are there other pedestrian risks, such as people leaving pubs/clubs, sports
matches or events?

Look at what might change

Estimate how long the works may be in place, then think about how any of the
above issues might change within that time, e.g.:

• rush-hour traffic flows;

GAC PIC R 7514 Page 3 of 10 12/07/2019

 • school run parking;
• pub/club licensing hours;
• match days at sports grounds;
• one-off events, concerts etc.;
• street lighting levels;
• weather and surface conditions; and
• Deliveries to the site.

Remember
• Use the signing, lighting and guarding that is necessary for the risks, not
just the equipment you happen to have available at the time. Work must
not start until you have the right equipment set up correctly. For
emergency works, full signing, lighting and guarding must be provided as
quickly as possible.
• Ensure the works team are given a formal briefing on all key safety issues
and local site risk assessment related to the activity.
• If you have any concerns, contact your supervisor, manager or other
competent person.

Appendix A demonstrates a typical Risk Assessment.

The Risk Assessment must not be generic. It should always be specific to the
scheme.
