INTRODUCTION

Patrick is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment. As such, our first priority is to ensure all tasks conducted within the Dampier Port Operations are conducted in a safe, risk assessed manner to

minimise or eliminate exposure to our people, business, environment and clients in line with Patrick Policy.

2.0

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of the Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is to ensure there is a specific management structure in place that defines the requirements for the safe effective management of traffic for the Patrick Dampier Operations in concert with the Pilbara Port Authority requirements for third party operators working on the Dampier Cargo Wharf (DCW) and the Patrick owned Dampier Floating Dock (DFD).

It relates to all Patrick owned plant and equipment used in the supply and logistics of goods received to the Dampier Cargo Wharf and Dampier Floating Dock via MOF Road to all Patrick operational areas including sub leased storage sheds.

4.9 Driver / Operator

Driver or operator is an approved person who operates a vehicle, mobile plant or equipment in the Patrick Operations. All drivers and operators must be approved to drive on site.

The Patrick Operations Traffic Management Plan (TMP) shall be submitted to the PPA for approval. The TMP is to be updated as major and / or long term conditions changes occur. Any revision of the TMP, once approved by the PPA, shall be communicated to the workforce as noted under Section 6, TCP Implementation Procedure. It shall as a minimum be reviewed annually.

For any major whole of site traffic change and realignment, the Shift Coordinator from each area will generate a TCP in line with their traffic flow diagram, which simultaneously roll out the changes so the whole site becomes compliant and the TMP changes are met.

5.0

TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN (TCP)

Traffic Control Plans document the specific proposals to change traffic management arrangements on a shift by shift basis and consist of a text document and Traffic Control Diagram (TCD), Appendix 2. There may be only one or several TCPs on any given day depending on work front requirements.

6.0

TRAFFIC CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE

If a traffic change is required the following steps should be followed:

 The Shift Coordinator is to generate a TCP (Appendix 2), utilising the SWI relevant to the assigned scope of works the traffic changes are needed for, in consultation with the Operations Manager and / or Team Leader conduct the risk assessment for those changes.

 Have the completed TCP reviewed by SHE department (Where required i.e. Major changes)

 Submit it to the Operations Manager for approval and email a copy, prior to the next shift pre start, to the relevant Managers including the SHE Manager, PPA Management, relevant Yard / Wharf Area Managers and Shift Supervisors.

 The relevant Shift Coordinator will then inform all personnel at the pre start, of the traffic changes in their area and assign a work crew with Team Leader to set up the traffic changes immediately after pre start and prior to work commencing, or traffic moving through that area.

 After the pre start announcement, the Shift Coordinator will place the TCP on the Safety noticeboard for all personnel to check.

 Monitor the job and TCP to ensure continuity and compliance.

 Submit a new TCP if the end date has expired and job is yet to be completed. Considerations:

 List the equipment and personnel required to carry out the job task. Check availability prior to submitting TCP.

 Define and verify pedestrian access ways and safe separation requirements between people and moving vehicles, plant or equipment.

 Consider night shift and low lighting situations.

 Identify the time frame the TCP is required for, as an end date is required.

 Verify that persons undertaking tasks required by this procedure are trained and competent.

 The level of skill and qualification of a Traffic Controller may alter depending on the risks identified in the risk assessment for the work being performed. The Shift Coordinator shall determine, based on the level of risk, the competency and experience required by the Traffic Controller.

 Communicate with the relevant Yard / Wharf Area Managers and Shift Supervisors regarding goods trucks / transportation coming through to their area, so any congestion issues can be managed.

7.0

TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN (TCP) REQUIREMENTS

7.1

Hazard Identification

Personnel will be required to identify all foreseeable hazards and proposed controls in their Traffic Control Plan.

These hazards would include, but not be limited to the following:

 Interface issues with existing operations and other Contractors

 Vehicle / mobile plant and equipment interface with pedestrians
