4.4 Long term work
When conducting long term work on a site and it is to be left unattended, traffic and pedestrian
controls are used to maintain safety at the work site. Use the following control measures:
COVER signage not in use that is left on site as required
Where poles, plant or equipment that may be a hazard are left on site, a suitable barrier shall
be erected around the item to prevent any unauthorised access to the item by non Country
Energy employees
LOCK or secure all plant and equipment left on site
ENSURE the site is safe for pedestrian and vehicle movement around the site
Note: Meshing or barriers used where required should have a Country Energy logo on them.
4.5 Surveying
For surveying work on the roadside, between the reverse boundary and the nearest road shoulder,
and all survey employees are wearing high visibility clothing, then traffic control signage will not
generally be required for such work, but if requiring movement from one side of the road to the other
then extreme caution should be taken.
If the above conditions can not be met than full traffic control is required.
