 Traffic Management Plan

1. Endorsement of the TMP

Management in Hanson Construction Materials, as listed below, have reviewed and approved the
Traffic Management Plan:

 Chris Bonett – Plant Manager

The Traffic Management Plan (TMP)

The Traffic Management Plan (“TMP”) is designed to control the flow of traffic through the Concrete Batch Plant area
and yard. It will limit the possibility of contact between different types of vehicles and the likelihood of vehicle and
pedestrian related incidents.
This will be achieved by use of an approved Site Traffic Plan, Signage to Australian Standard AS1742.3, onsite training
and Toolbox meetings with all Hanson staff.
Hanson Construction Materials (Hanson) recognizes that other statutory and legislative requirements, specifications
and standards are considered under this plan. This TMP will ensure that procedures will be in place for all staff and
visitors. This has been developed from the following, where applicable:-
• Occupational Health and Safety Act 1984 (WA)
• Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 1996 (WA)

Please note that this TMP is correct and reflects Hanson’s intentions as of this current revision. Some minor aspects of
the TMP may change to reflect final on-site design and should this occur an updated TMP will be issued.

Compliance with Australian Standards, Regulations & Guidelines

 Australian Standard AS 1742.3 Manual of uniform traffic control devices

 The plant will comply with all relevant local and state legislation.

2. Scope and Responsibilities

2.1. Scope
The TMP will address the following potential hazard areas:

 Light Vehicle movements;

 Yellow Machines;
 Heavy Vehicles;
 Speed Control;
 Vehicular Interaction;
 Pedestrian Interaction;
 Emergency response;
 Un-authorised site access; and
 Change.

Hazards are addressed in Section 3.3 of this TMP. The flow of traffic will be illustrated on the TMP
once the site has been physically inspected, indicating the direction road trains, agitator trucks and
light vehicles.

2.2. Responsibilities
The Plant Manager will assume overall responsibility for the management of the Hanson TMP during
day to day operations. However, all employees are responsible for ensuring and maintaining the safe
flow of traffic onsite. All employees and contractors entering site will be subject to placarded speed
limits and will be counseled by the plant Manager if infringements are detected.

Site inspections will be carried out on a daily basis to monitor the effectiveness of traffic design flow
and signage, this will form part of the HSE inspections

3. Traffic Control Plan

3.1. Traffic Movements
Traffic movements in the area include:
 Hanson Construction Materials Vehicles
 Normal Road Users
 Various Construction Work Crews
 Site Visitors
Permanent signs on the access road and entry to the Batch Plant Area will provide guidance on mandatory speed limits, entry
requirements and direction of flow of traffic. Delineation will be followed as per designated walkways as per the
interaction, volume of pedestrian and traffic levels of the area.

Parking bays has been allocated for light vehicles (ie. Non-trucks), which is sufficient for all site employees and two site visitors.

When agitator trucks and material delivery trucks, Austroad guides have been checked and will ensure that the trucks turn
directly onto their own lane and not impose onto the oncoming lane.

3.2. General Arrangement

Plan A (Appendix 1), which is taken to be the plant layout on site, indicates a scaled and dimensioned general layout of the
batch plant footprint. It indicates the interaction between the paths of the types of vehicles will be limited to only that which is
necessary for the proper operation of the concrete batch plant. The Front End Loader will operate within the designated
exclusion zone and entry thereto will require confirmation via the designated UHF Channel. LV entry to the yard will be limited
to the LV car park where practicable.

Items contained within this plan include but are not limited to
 Muster points;
 Isolation points;
 SDS location;
 Traffic flow;
 Area specific signage;
 Exclusion zones.
3.3.Potential Hazards
Identified hazards involved in traffic management and the controls implemented to limit or eliminate
risk.

3.5. Communication Plan

On approval, the TMP will be posted in the crib and batch rooms located next to the LV parking onsite. An employee briefing
will be delivered during the prestart meeting. Changes to this plan will follow the Hanson Change Management Process.
These changes will be rolled out to the workforce via subsequent prestart and toolbox meetings.

3.6. Inspection and Review Process

The TMP will be periodically inspected and audited to ensure compliance and suitability for its purpose. Issues that are
identified will be addressed and, where more significant changes are required, Hanson will consult with the Council
representatives for guidance.

3.7. Signage
The traffic signage will comply with AS1742.3; all other signage will be for information purposes only. Some of the signage
that will be found on site are indicated below.

3.8. Busy Periods

During busy periods, Hanson intends to hold vehicles at the entrance to the plant, where they will be released as congestion is
reduced. The only time Hanson expects to have a vehicle wait is when a tipper or tanker truck drops off material and needs to
turn around, which will see the supervisor stop the loader (and park up), so that the truck can safely turn around and exit
without any risk. The waiting area is indicated in Appendix A below.
