Staff
• Work is to be arranged so workers can undertake work safely, and where
possible road users and workers are kept separated;
• It is essential to keep pedestrians away from work areas;
• Place signs and devices before proceeding with works;
• Ensure signs are not obscured by vegetation, vehicles, plant or other traffic
control signs/devices and that signs are placed in the correct order;
• Where traffic controllers are required, they must be suitably qualified having
passed RTA approved training courses;
• Traffic controllers (or portable traffic signals if directing traffic to cross barrier
lines) will be used if road users are to be directed to disobey a traffic
regulation;
• All traffic controllers are to wear high visibility external clothing;
• Signs, devices and TCP’s shall be used to warn, inform and guide road users
safely around, through or past work areas; and
• Signs, devices and TCP’s are to be removed from the site upon completion of
the work.
Specific Traffic Control Plans (TCP’s) will be prepared for all work which involves any
form of traffic control or restriction. TCP‘s will be prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the RTA (2003) Traffic Control at Work Sites. All necessary approvals
will be obtained from Council, RTA, emergency services and other relevant authorities
prior to implementing TCP’s. Annex A provides an example of the TCP’s that may be
required for the construction activities.
