Workplace Transport

What are the risks from transport in your workplace?

Every year about 70 people are killed and about 2500 seriously injured in accidents involving vehicles at the workplace. Being struck or run over by moving vehicles, falling from vehicles, or vehicles over-turning are the most common causes.

Vehicles operating in the workplace include cars and vans, lift trucks, heavy goods vehicles, dumpers, specialised vehicles or plant. Often there is significantly more danger from vehicles in the workplace than on the public highway since the operating conditions are different.

Does This Concern Me?

Do you have vehicles in operation at your workplace?
If so what kinds of vehicles are they?
Are pedestrians separated from vehicle movements as much as possible?
Are traffic routes suitable for the vehicles which have to use them? Are they clearly marked?
Do you know who is allowed to drive or operate the vehicles? They should be trained and competent.
Are loading and unloading operations carried out safely?
Do you actively control driving behaviour?
Are all vehicles properly maintained?
