Incidents involving vehicles and mobile plant have the potential to seriously injure or kill, due to the sheer size of the equipment typically involved.

Examples include dump trucks reversing into dozers, reversing dump truck rollovers, pedestrians suffering serious crush injuries from reversing mobile plant, and collisions between loaders, trucks and light vehicles. These incidents occur too frequently.

Well designed and maintained roads and vehicle operating areas can make these accidents less likely. The Quarry Roads and Onsite Vehicle Safety webinar has been designed to provide participants with an understanding of the safety, efficiency and productivity considerations for managing haul roads and transport in quarries.

• The hazards and risks associated with operation of vehicles, mobile plant and equipment in quarries
• Overview of legislative requirements
• Strategies for management of traffic and haul routes

• Understand the fundamental aspects of transport route planning
• Understand the risks and hazards associated with the interaction of vehicles, mobile plant and equipment, and pedestrians in quarries
• Explore strategies for managing the risks associated with transport route and haul road construction
• Understand stockyard planning and operations

The webinar is recommended for:

• Quarry supervisors
• Operators and general staff
• New workers (labourers, apprentices, trainees)
• Anyone involved in quarry traffic management or haul road planning
