RBM TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN (TMP)

Compiled By : Superintendant – Facilities

1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of the Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is to minimise mobile plant interactions with people and other vehicle equipment within the RBM lease area, RBM security controlled common access areas (site) and to establish efficient controls to minimise the risk of personal injury and damage due to those interactions. This TMP has been developed using a risk based approach. This TMP aims to outline the designated traffic rules for all personnel (employees, leaseholders, licensees, visitors, other service providers and contractors) accessing the RBMsite. This TMP considers the risks associated with, but not limited to:

a) Segregate of pedestrians from heavy and light vehicles b) Segregate of pedestrians from mobile plant c) Segregate of heavy mobile equipment from light vehicles d) Vehicle / mobile plant length, width, height and gross tonnage e) Trailers and associated loads f) Work area size and layout g) Established infrastructure (fixed and mobile) h) Traffic volumes, including routes, priority and exclusion zones i) Lighting and visibility j) Speed and Parking.

The Technical and Asset Manager will review this TMP on an annual basis or as required (e.g. significant change to road layout, significant incident). The Superintendent Mine Planning is responsible for planning access where heavy mobile equipment (HME) and light motor vehicles (LMV) are separated on the mine. Traffic separation plans for the mine is updated regularly with changing infrastructure requirements on the mine. 2. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this TMP include:

a) Ensuring the safety of all personnel who access the RBM site b) Establishing and implementing clear traffic management requirements c) Minimising disruption to each workgroup operating at the RBM Workplace d) Planning for temporary road changes and detours e) Minimising traffic congestion f) Ensuring traffic management controls for work activities undertaken by non RBM

personnel in common access areas are developed and implemented in line with the requirements in this plan.

Mine Planning is responsible for planning the separation of HME and LMV’s on the mine. All access and parking for HME and LMV’s are seperated in an attempt to minimize the interaction between them. These road separation plans are reviewed and updated continuously as the ever changing infrastructure requirements change on the mine.


Figure 1: Example of a Road Seperation Plan on the Mine


d) Speed Limits

Like any other public road, speed restrictions shall apply to all mobile plant and vehicles (heavy / light) using the roadways and parking facilities at the RBM site. All speed limits are clearly signposted. The Traffic Management Site Map (Appendix B) illustrates speed limits applying to the following areas:

30km/hour – on site

40km/hour – on dune

60km/hour – start of lease area to main site

60/80km/hour – North Haul Road as per signage.

e) Traffic Rules The following rules shall apply regarding the ‘right of way’ within the RBM site:

Drivers of TMM’s must adhere to all road demarcations and warning/instruction

signs.

The maximum speed limit on all Final Products site roads is 30 KPH and on all peripheral site roads as indicated by appropriate signage.

Pedestrians have right of way in all areas except for dedicated operational areas,

but should approach TMM with caution and only if the operator has indicated he has seen the pedestrian and indicated he can approach.

Pedestrian walkways and crossings must be used where they are available. All

employees (including drivers) operating in plant areas must complete both generic RBM safety and plant specific safety training programs that includes interactions with TMM’s and relates to persons working or traveling in close proximity to TMM’s.

Where TMM are required to interact with each other during normal operations, such

activities will be done in accordance with a SOP which will include the safe interaction between the different units. Such an area must also be marked as an exclusion zone for TMM’s only.

Warning devices must be fitted to all TMM’s to provide both audible and visual

warning of their presence and intentions. In operational areas, no vehicle or TMM may approach another TMM within 50m unless the driver of the TMM has provided positive acknowledgment of the TMM and indicated that the vehicle or TMM may approach.

8. PARKING Mobile equipment shall always be parked in a designated parking area where provided. In this instance the mobile equipment may be left secure (locked). Where a designated parking area is not provided the mobile equipment is to be parked in a safe location. Drivers shall ensure that all mobile equipment is parked fundamentally stable so that the mobile equipment does not pose a risk to any person through involuntary or uncontrolled movement while unattended.

Rev No: 2 Page 10 of 21


A driver shall not park his/her vehicle in a position that will endanger vehicles or people

A driver shall not park a vehicle where it cannot be clearly observed

A driver shall not park a vehicle within the working area of mobile equipment except where the vehicle is directly involved in the operating cycle

A driver, before leaving his/her parked vehicle shall ensure that the vehicle is secure and that parking brakes have been applied

Equipment left parked on site shall be parked in a safe position and clear of any hazards

Where provided, light and support vehicles shall be parked in the designated or sign-posted areas.

Except in designated parking areas on site, keys shall not be left in the light vehicle when parked

A driver of a vehicle shall ensure that before moving from a parked position, that their path is free of any obstruction or personnel

Reverse parking applies to all parking areas

Avoid parking at emergency and access routes

Chock blocks must be used whenever mobile equipment is parked or left unattended by the operator or driver. When applying the chock blocks the following standards must be applied: All Mobile Equipment over 3.5 ton must be chocked with a chock block on either side of at least one wheel: i.e. uncontrolled movement in either direction must be prevented. Wheel chocks should be sized and design to prevent the vehicle from rolling over the chock on the steepest slope in its area of operation. Chocks must be rated in accordance to the wheel diameter and gross combined weight rating (GCWR), which refers to the total mass of a vehicle, including all trailers, to effectively prevent uncontrolled movement of the vehicle. The following must be taken into account with the selection of sutable chocks

Tyre size

Gross vehicle operating weight, including weight of trailer

Level or grade of the ground surface

Condition of the ground (soft, firm, wet) The minimum requirements for the largest size TMM wheel used on RBM, size of 45”, to be chocked on a level hard surface, will be a width of 200mm, height of 250mm and length of 450mm, constructed of a non-compressable material.

For mobiles on level ground where the slope is uncertain, place a chock block on each

side of one of the rear wheels and ensure they are wedged securely. If the mobile is parked on a definite incline both wheels on the lower side must be

chocked to prevent the mobile moving down the incline. For mobiles coupled to trailers, the chock blocks should be placed on either side of the

wheel(s) on the highest side of the machine: i.e. on the “up” side of the machine. If one or more wheels are removed from the vehicle, then at least one wheel on each

side of the vehicle must be chocked. Before driving away ensure that all chock blocks have been removed and stored in the

storage rack provided on the machine.



All mobile equipment must be equipped with approved storage racks for the chock blocks used on the mobile. The storage racks must be firmly secured to the chassis or body of the vehicle or mobile and must be placed such that they are easily and safely accessible and it is easy to remove and replace the chock blocks in the rack.

The number and condition of the chock blocks must be checked and recorded as part of

the pre-start check on each mobile. Each mobile must have at least two chock blocks available at all times. If there are insufficient chock blocks or they are damaged, the vehicle or mobile must not be used until the chocks have been replaced.

Due to the specific conditions in the Mining areas, mobile equipment should be parked

on level, firm surfaces where possible and chocked with the special chock blocks for sand. These chocks are larger than the normal chock. Parking areas on the mine, in the dunes are constructed with a slope terminating in a and berm. LMV’s are required to reverse down the slope up to the berm ensuring the vehicle is parked in a fundamentally stable manner.

When selecting an area to park any mobile equipment, the driver or operator shall consider:

If the mobile equipment will be parked on sloping or uneven ground (it is preferable to

park across the slope) If the mobile equipment will be parked adjacent to any drains or gutters

If the mobile equipment will be parked within a building, such as a warehouse or

workshop

If the mobile equipment is to be parked in such a way that prevents emergency access

If climatic conditions such as rain, muddy and slippery surfaces, high winds or heavy loads, or other external factors such as a trailer, may have an impact on the driver’s ability to safely and securely park the mobile equipment

When parking mobile equipment, the driver or operator shall test for fundamental

stability

When connecting or disconnecting a trailer, the driver or operator shall:

Ensure that the towing vehicle is fundamentally stable

Ensure that any braking system fitted to the trailer has been engaged and is operating correctly

Deploy wheel chocks around the trailer wheels in a manner that prevents backwards

and forwards movement of the trailer.

Light Vehicles are to park in designated LMV parking areas with fitted fundamental stable parking stops as per the attachd drawings.

9. PEDESTRIAN INTERACTION

Pedestrian interaction with mobile equipment/vehicles is minimised as far as practicable through a number of traffic control measures, including, but not limited to:

Designated walkways.

High visibility clothing (PPE)



Audible tones (reversing alarms)

Personal Warning Device (PWD)

Speed limits

At times, pedestrians and mobile equipment/vehicles will be required to work in the same general area. Where this is necessary, the interaction shall be managed by means of a safe process, including, but not limited to:

Safe systems of work (i.e. COP’s, SOP’s, JHA)

Physical barriers around exclusive pedestrian walkways

Mobile equipment/vehicle and pedestrian demarcation zones

Personal Warning Device (PWD) Pedestrians must be alert to mobile equipment /vehicle movements and operations occurring around them. All personnel working in and entering operational areas of the site are required to wear high visibility clothing and PWD.

10. TRAFFIC SIGNS

Appropriate traffic control signage is displayed throughout the RBM site (refer Annexure A). These signs serve as a constant reminder to all mobile plant/vehicle operators and pedestrians of conditions and requirements when accessing various areas on RBM site. All signage requirements are periodically checked during workplace inspections. Any changes or modification to traffic control signage is to be agreed with the Reliability and Asset Management Manager or in his absence the Superintendent Facilities. Regular inspections in carried out of signage by the facilities sect and repairs or replacement are carried out . All changes are subject to the change control process.

11. REGISTRATION OF MOBILE EQUIPMENT/VEHICLES

All mobile equipment/vehicles operating within the RBM site shall be registered with an appropriate authority as per legislated requirements. If the mobile e q u i p m e n t /vehicle is not bound by any registration requirements (i.e. not planned for use on public roads) a documented inspection report (or similar) from the Mobile Equipment workshop. Stating the mobile plant/vehicle is in a roadworthy condition in accordance with national road rules/legislation. Prestart inspections must be completed before every shift as per RBM requirements. Fit for purpose light vehicles Only fit for purpose light motor vehicles shall be driven on RBM’s lease area. This shall be achieved by: • Valid vehicle license disc displayed in front window as required by Road Traffic Act; • Vehicle properly equipped to attend to tyre emergency (spare wheel, chocks, jack and
