Segregation of Pedestrians and Pedestrian Safety

All visitors, pedestrians, contractors MUST sign in at the site offices/reception area.
They will be met by site foreman/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, steel mid-sole boots,
hi-visibility clothing, hardhat and safety glasses 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 and give them a thumbs up (to make sure
he/she has seen you before proceeding). You must be accompanied by a member of
staff.

Radio contact or verbal contact MUST be made to the loading shovel, lorry or mobile
plant so they can account for the additional persons walking around on site.

All visitors, pedestrians, contractors MUST adhere to the Banksman, machine

they are the key people to control the traffic or other plant on site.

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

plant at all times.

The loading shovel or mobile plant 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 the horn to make them aware of their presence and
signal for them to move away.

relevant Risk Assessments relating to their machine.
