When managing potential traffic risks, it is helpful to identify the specific risks that can occur for your workplace environment, as different industries and locations will be subject to varying hazards. This can be done by identifying areas where vehicles and human traffic interact and being aware of blind spots or areas of poor visibility.
WHS laws require businesses to be aware of hazards and take action to do all that is possible to eliminate or minimise the risk. In an instance a risk cannot be eliminated it is important to educate employees or anyone who may access the area, develop safe vehicle routes and pedestrian crossing areas. Vehicle routes should be equipped with calming measures such as speed humps and designated parking areas with wheel bumper stops.
