CE-IN-CONFIDENCE PROCEDURAL GUIDELINE – Traffic Control: Safety CEPG2328 1 INTRODUCTION The RTA manual “Traffic Control at Worksites Manual” (www.rta.nsw.gov.au), outlines the processes and responsibilities for traffic control at work sites and must be used in conjunction with this procedure when working on RTA roads. The AS 1742.3 – Manual of uniform traffic devices – Traffic Control devices for works on roads, outlines the minimum processes and responsibilities for traffic control. This procedure is to be used in conjunction with AS 1742.3 for non RTA roads and refers to work conducted within the boundaries of all roads. 2 WHY THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE IMPORTANT This procedure is essential for: compliance with the regulatory requirements for traffic control at our worksites ensuring the safety of our employees and members of the public. The RTA, Traffic Control at Work Sites Manual makes reference to specific levels of authority and uses specific terms for these positions. Where this position is stated in the Traffic Control at Work Sites Manual, the following will apply to Country Energy.

Signs and devices will be used to warn, inform and guide road users safely around, past or through work areas, including providing a safe and convenient path for pedestrians through or past the work site. When setting up traffic control measures at Country Energy work sites the following broad principles shall be complied with: 1 BEFORE setting up any traffic control or starting work, a risk assessment of the worksite will be undertaken to determine what degree of traffic control is required. The selected TCP must be included in the space provided and any additional hazards identified and documented on the HIRAC form. 2 ENSURE all personnel responsible for Traffic Control are qualified in RTA approved training courses. Traffic controllers will be used where required. 3 ARRANGE traffic control so that workers are able to work safely and the workers and road users are effectively separated wherever possible. 4 ALWAYS have an escape route in mind in case of an emergency, such as an out of control vehicle. 5 CLOSE the minimum length and width of a road at each stage to ensure minimum disruption and inconvenience to road users, ensuring road users do not unnecessarily break the law. 23 June 2008 – Original Issue Approved By: Chief Safety Officer Page 5 of 28 CE-IN-CONFIDENCE UNCONTROLLED COPY IF PRINTED
