Risk Based Approach §  Failure to identify and manage risks

associated with core CoR elements:

–  Fatigue Management

–  Speeding Compliance

–  Mass Compliance

–  Dimension Compliance

–  Loading Compliance

–  Roadworthiness (non CoR)

§  Heavy Vehicle National Law and WHS Act (s18)

CoR Compliance Categories

Hazards Risks CoR Obligations Risk Control Measures

Driver – Fatigue Management

Road Registered Truck Drivers succumbing to fatigue and health issues that affect the state of alertness and well-being of workers crashes and serious injury on our road networks

•  Unable to perform work safely

•  Lack of ability to understand or comprehend instructions or road rules

•  Erratic driver behaviour

•  Risk of serious injury and illness to the public, themselves and others

•  Property damage •  Poor worker

morale •  Vehicle collision

•  All heavy vehicle drivers of fatigue-regulated heavy vehicles have been trained in fatigue management.

•  Prescribed rest breaks are taken at the required intervals and records are made.

•  Drivers, operators and other off-road parties develop work arrangements that consider the effects of fatigue and implement flexible and effective procedures to manage fatigue.

•  Take all reasonable steps to ensure that the driver does not drive while impaired by fatigue or commit any other fatigue offence

•  NHVAS (National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme) Fatigue Management Accreditation

•  Heavy vehicle drivers trained in fatigue management.

•  Verify drivers are taking rest breaks through C-Track or equivalent.

•  Investigate demographics of drivers to ensure no excessive travel time to and from work.

CoR Compliance Categories

Hazards Risks CoR Obligations Risk Control Measures

Vehicle Operations – Vehicle Standards

Heavy vehicle standards not being met and maintained

•  Increase in heavy vehicle incidents and breakdowns.

•  Road traffic accidents/incidents.

•  Traffic congestion. •  Fatality or serious

personal injury. •  Vehicle and property

damage.

•  Apply and maintain the prescribed heavy vehicle standards.

•  No person must use, or permit to be used, on a road a heavy vehicle that is unsafe.

•  All operators and drivers to ensure that their vehicle is safe for use on a road.

•  Un-roadworthy and/or unsafe on-road heavy vehicles to be removed from service.

•  NHVAS (National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme) Maintenance Management Accreditation

•  Current RMS roadworthy Certification

•  All requirements of vehicle registration are maintained.

•  Comply with Heavy Vehicle (Vehicle Standards) National Regulation

•  Selection of experienced and competent subcontractor

CoR/Heavy Haulage Statistics

Tunnels & Stations Civil Project final total estimated at 475,600 truck movements

•  Total extracted crushed rock = 3.73 million tonnes

•  Payload truck movements for crushed rock = 226,000 movements

•  Total precast concrete segments = 33,200 movements

•  Total concrete/aggregate = 21,000 movements

•  Tunnel & Stations Civil (TSC) early works heavy haulage movements = approximately 195,400

Safer Roads

•  Intersection Risk Assessments conducted

identifying high risk intersection

•  Independent Road Safety Audits to identify

constraints and opportunities to improve

existing routes

•  Alternative spoil removal options currently

being investigated
