36 Segregation of Pedestrians and Pedestrian Safety

All visitors, pedestrians, contractors MUST sign in at the site reception area. They will
be met by site management and if necessary, site inducted and given a copy of the
site rules to read and then sign the visitors book to confirm their understanding.

All visitors, pedestrians, contractors MUST wear correct PPE, hi-visibility clothing,
and if in the warehouse safety boots, unless agreed with one of the directors.

Before walking near any plant or vehicle, visitors, pedestrians or contractors MUST
always make eye contact with the driver (to make sure he/she has seen you before
proceeding). You should be accompanied by a member of staff.

Verbal contact MUST be made to the forklift or lorry drivers so they can account for
the additional persons walking around on site.

All visitors, pedestrians, contractors MUST adhere to the machine operators or
member of staff instructions AT ALL TIMES. This is important because they are the
key people to control the traffic on site.

Visitors, pedestrians MUST not walk into an area without permission of a member of
staff and be aware of mobile plant at all times.

All contractors working outside their permit of work MUST be escorted unless prior
arrangement has been made with site management.

Visitors, pedestrians MUST keep a minimum distance of 5 metres away from moving
plant at all times.

The forklift driver MUST ensure he keeps a minimum of 5 metres away from
pedestrians at all times. If in doubt, they MUST STOP and check where pedestrians
are, sound their horn to make them aware and signal for them to move away.

The forklift operator MUST be familiar with all the relevant safe systems of work and
the relevant Risk Assessments relating to this machine.

If all the above controls are followed, then the risk of injury to persons has been brought
down to as low as is reasonably practical.

EXERCISE CARE AND VIGILANCE AT ALL TIMES.
