Road Safety Equipment & Supplies

Prevention is better than regret. We all know this, but it’s often forgotten when focusing on the tasks at hand. For this reason, proper site setup is vital. Not only for your team, but for other workers, colleagues and even passers-by. Keeping everyone out of harm’s ways means alerting them to worksite hazards and clearly demarcating areas to stay clear of.

This includes setting up visual warnings in the form of extendable barriers, barricade tape and so on, to create safe movement or working corridors for people to safely navigate their way around the workers. It’s especially important to isolate areas containing moving machinery to avoid the potential of a devastating collision.

According to Safe Work Australia, working on or next to a public road is classified as high risk construction work. It is therefore crucial to ensure the proper use of common traffic controls. They suggest the following:

A well-designed job site will minimise the chances of someone being anywhere near the danger zones. By implementing a proper site plan and advising team members of go and no go areas, the site can operate efficiently with a reduced risk of injury or damage to property.
