Safety Toolbox Talk PLANT MOVEMENTS & REVERSING

A large number of accidents and fatalities occur each year in construction as a result of persons being struck by plant movements. Thats why its so important to provide and maintain pedestrian walkways and routes. Plant Movements Plant operators should as part of their daily checks ensure that all mirrors, cameras if fitted, beacons, lights and audible devices are fully functional at the beginning of each shift and report any defects to there supervisor immediately. Plant that does not have a designated operator such as Dumpers and Rollers etc, either one person must take responsibility for checking that piece of e uipment daily or alternatively operators must satisfy themselves when they operate that item that all items are fully functional. A !anksman must control activities such as lifting, e"cavation and reversing. Plant operatives must respect the site signage and traffic routes and where possible choose routes and practises that will minimise the amount of reversing re uired. !efore setting off, operators should check all mirrors if fitted or physically look around to ensure that the area is clear before moving off. #ou must not be reliant on starting the engine up as being sufficient. Pedestrians, must where their high$visibility clothing at A%% Times and where possible, should stay away from moving vehicles and plant. &hen this is not practically possible you must stay alert at all times, using all your senses. 'eeping a lookout and listen for vehicles that are moving. (n the event you need to pass along side or behind an item of plant you must stand clear, and ensure that the operator)banksman has seen you and has acknowledge your presence and given you permission to pass. *ever rely on an operator to have seen you or e"pect your presence unless they have acknowledged you. Reversing +nly reverse vehicles if you have been trained to do so. ,nsuring that reversing is carried out at an appropriate speed and controlled. Do not allow delivery drivers to reverse without a banksman, they are not e"empt. Dont be reliant of -uck wagons and other delivery vehicles to be fitted with a camera. .ehicles reversing off or onto site must be supervised at all times although should be the e"ception not the norm. (f you are not a !anksman do not give signals to a driver, unless in an emergency.
