Vehicles, Transport and Workplace Movement
Separating people and vehicles and controlling reversing, loading, routes and mobile-equipment interfaces.
How to prepare for Working Safely
Build a simple worker-level sequence: notice the real hazard, identify exposure and harm, use the strongest available control, and report or escalate weakness.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Vehicle risk depends on route design, visibility, speed, reversing, loading and the separation of people.
Exam cue: Eliminate unnecessary movement and separate people physically where practicable.
Concept 2
Pedestrian and vehicle routes should be planned, maintained, marked and supervised for real site conditions.
Exam cue: Assess deliveries, visitors and reversing as well as routine internal travel.
Concept 3
Drivers and operators need suitable competence, equipment checks and clear coordination with banksmen or others.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Relying only on high-visibility clothing.
Guardrail: Do not normalise a familiar hazard or replace a stronger source control with a warning, procedure or PPE alone.
Allowing an unplanned pedestrian shortcut through a vehicle area.
Guardrail: Do not normalise a familiar hazard or replace a stronger source control with a warning, procedure or PPE alone.
Memory anchors
Separate People and Plant
Physical separation is stronger than visibility alone.
Route Before Movement
Plan direction, crossing, speed and loading areas.
Reverse as a Last Choice
Design movement to reduce reversing where practicable.
See and Be Seen
Maintain visibility, lighting and communication.
Delivery Is Shared Work
Coordinate visiting drivers with site controls.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
