THE OBJECTIVE OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IS TO ACHIEVE ZERO HARM 2 Ref: MOSH

Traffic Management deals with the safe movement of people and vehicles 3 Ref: MOSH

MHSA 8.10.1 & 8.10.1.2(b)  Employer must take reasonably practicable measures to ensure that pedestrians are prevented from being injured as a result of collision between trackless mobile machines and pedestrians. At any mine where there is significant risk of such collisions, such measures must include the following:….Chapter 8 MHSA Act 29 of 1996. Ref: MHSA 4

MHSA 8.10.1 & 8.10.1.2(b)  Trackless Mobile Machinery Regulations under notice N.R.125 Government Gazette 27 February 2015  Regulations 8.10.1.2 (b) and 8.10.2.1 (b)  TMM regulations form part of Chapter 8 of the regulations under the Mine Health and Safety Act, 1996 Ref: MHSA 5

WHY DO TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT? To Prevent this from happening Presentation title, Department, First name Last name, 2015-07-10 6

Traffic Management  Hazard: Something that can cause harm  Unwanted event: a consequence of a Hazard  Risk: The chance of something happening that will have an impact on objectives. Ref: MOSH

Physical Assessment.  Look at a scenario critically  Identify & Assess the risks correctly  Make provision for the impossible 10

Physical Assessment.  What measures can be implemented  Don’t Fool Yourself!!!  K.I.S.S. 11

Significant Risk? 12

Traffic Management  Approach- TMM Risk evaluation (Historical Data)  MOSH Risk analysis ( Proactive)  Implementation- Separation principle  Continually changing operational requirements  The Plan is a Living Document!

Traffic Management Risk Analysis: To proactively identify all hazards and unwanted events related to vehicles and pedestrians, with a view to understand their inter relationships. Ref: MOSH

Traffic Management To develop and manage controls that will prevent the unwanted events from happening. Ref: MOSH

Traffic Management  Control: A barrier that either prevents or mitigates an unwanted event. A control therefore can only be: • A human act • An object (engineered device) • A technical system (combination of above) REF:MOSH

Challenges  Management Commitment  Change of behavior of staff, contractors/customers  Resistance to change  Implementation of systems – resources and time  Satellite industries

Implementation  Consultation with all TMM operators  Willingness to change the plan  Monitoring of the plan to ensure compliance  Continued commitment to ensure plan succeeds

Successes  Adoption by all staff of new measures  Separation of pedestrians from TMM’s  Achieving the “feel safe” climate (spouse test)  Management of supplier collections and deliveries

COST  Time  Effort  Machine usage  COMMON SENSE  COMMITMENT & EFFORT L 31

RETURNS  Improved productivity t/hr.  All employees are safer  Safe flow of TMM’s & Trucks  Reduced congestion at critical points  Overall safer environment L
