Working on existing Roads (도로 위 작업)

[General]

Whenever vehicles or plant are moving or working alongside pedestrians or pedestrian operatives on any roadwork’s site, there is a high accident potential.  Roadwork’s applies to both new highway construction and resurfacing of existing highways.  Similar work may be drainage operations, kerb laying, gully clearing etc.  All these activities, when undertaken alongside an existing road have the potential to be extremely dangerous.

 

[Hazards]

·  Live traffic moving at speed within the vicinity of operatives.

·  Reversing vehicles on site.

·  Burns and fire risk when carrying out hot works, ie working with bituminous materials.

·  Carcinogenic nature of pitch, tar and mineral oils.

·  Overhead and underground cables.

 

[Health and Safety Points]

·  All operatives will wear high visibility clothing at all times.

·  All Vehicles must be fitted with Amber flashing beacons on roof or on top of vehicle and these will be switched on whilst entering/leaving the works area.

·  You must obey the instructions of your supervisor.

·  You must not enter the part of the motorway open to traffic.

·  You must not move cones or signs unless it is absolutely essential and you are authorised  to do so.

·  No unauthorised person allowed on site.

·  If you see an accident on the motorway, use the nearest Emergency Telephone on the site to contact the Police.

·  Only give assistance  to an accident when requested by the Police.

·  When buffer lanes are in use they must be kept clear at all times.  Entry is not permitted for vehicles or personnel.  In the event of an accident the buffer lane is used as access for emergency vehicles.

·  When driving on site keep as sharp look out for any other operations, e.g. excavating, piling and concreting.  Slow down when approaching pedestrian operatives and make sure that they are aware of your presence.

·  You must only enter and leave the site at the authorised points; you must not enter or leave site by any other route.  Observe site speed limits

·  Take particular care when entering and leaving site where traffic leaves or merges with motorway traffic.

·  Van and Wagon drivers do not reverse without the assistance of a banksman.

Good housekeeping is essential on site.

도로공사에 국한된 사항은 아닙니다.

건설현장 내 도로 조성 공사, 도보공사, 조경공사 등등 차량 및 건설장비가 이동하는 모든 장소에 공통적으로 적용해서 생각해 볼 문제입니다.
