1.1.6 Walkaround Inspections

When a pre-start inspection has already been conducted in the current shift, personnel taking
over a vehicle should do a walkaround inspection for any obvious faults or damage by
circling the vehicle without entering the footprint (which would require isolation). Report all
defects and damage.

1.1.7 Post Check Inspection

Whenever personnel are leaving equipment, they must do a Post-Check inspection by


walking around the vehicle without entering the footprint (which requires isolation) checking
for possible damage and faults that may have occurred. Report all defects and damage.

3.3 Vehicle Requirements

1.1.8 Brakes and Steering

All vehicles shall be equipped with brakes capable of effectively stopping and holding that
vehicle, fully loaded under any working conditions

Brake and Steering tests should be done on all vehicles prior to leaving parkup areas (as per
requirements of individual equipment SOP’s)

1.1.9 Headlights and Flashing Lights

Vehicles shall have headlights capable of illuminating the way ahead for a minimum of 60m
during the hours of darkness and clearly visible taillights to the rear of all vehicles.

Headlights and flashing lights must be turned on at all times when operating.

Vehicles in Active Mining Areas:

Headlights and flashing lights must be left on when temporarily unattended e.g. supervisor
checking RL’s
If left for an extended period of time, park in a safe location and turn all lights off
Where practicable always park at a designated “go-line”

Flashing lights must be turned off when travelling on public roads.

4. Communication

Positive communication is essential between equipment and personnel to ensure there is no confusion
about actions being taken.

All vehicles and personnel who enter Active Mining Areas must have working radio communication set to
the correct channel

Positive communication should be used with good planning, removal or reduction of risk, clear
instruction, understanding and vigilant supervision.

Personnel should not only rely on positive communication for safe work. Individuals are required to
ensure they use their own eyes to check their proximity to other equipment and personnel.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 Ensure correct two way channel is set for the area and volume is adequately set
 If out of a vehicle, personnel must carry a hand held radio. In a group, the person in control
of the group will remain in radio contact at all times
 Be specific when referencing location
 Speak clearly and be straight forward
 Use equipment/asset numbers or call signs when communicating
 Do not use of personal names
 Swearing and bad language is not acceptable
 Clicking of handset is not acceptable, responses must verbal
 Wait for confirmation, do not assume messages has been heard
 Keep transmissions brief and to the point
 Be aware of other people talking and don’t cut over
 Hold the hand piece within 10cms directly in front of mouth when speaking
 Before speaking - hold hand piece button in for 2 seconds
 Place hand piece on hook when not in use
 Emergency silence shall always be observed, if you aren’t directly involved
 Observe Radio Silence following a blasting notice being given
 Be familiar with the “Emergency Call Up” procedure

4.2 Two Way Terminology

 Receiving – “yes I hear you, go ahead”


 Copy – “message understood, got that”
 Standby – “please wait”
 Emergency called three times – “Help required”
 Say Again – “please repeat”

To call another vehicle/individual do the following:

Call equipment / asset number or call sign followed by senders call sign:

 e.g. DT12 (being called), LV53 (making the call). The correct response is “DT12 receiving”
 e.g. Bravo1 (being called), DT59 (making the call). The correct response is “Bravo1
receiving”

In vehicle interaction including overtaking, clear and proper verbal communication is essential

 If overtaking:

o Grader # on “state location”, permission for “vehicle” to overtake on your “left /


right”.
o Grader responds - Grader 7 copy, clear to come past OR Grader 7, hold your
position, “state reason”
o When it is clear – “vehicle” you are now clear to come past Grader 7 on your
“left/right”.
o Vehicle Responds – copy that Grader 7, coming past on your “left/right”

4.3 Emergency Communication

For emergencies, personnel are required to call up on their operating radio channel:

“EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY”

On being answered, state:

 Your name, location, and the location of the emergency


 The nature of the emergency, e.g. fire, vehicle accident
 If persons are involved, trapped or threatened, how many
 Whether fire is likely to result
 Standby for instructions
 Give assistance if trained and if safe to do so

Note: Do not state the names of personnel involved over two-way radio.

All other work related radio traffic must cease immediately.

All vehicles (not involved in the emergency) must:

 Pull over to the left hand side of the road as soon as is safe
 Apply park brake
 Activate hazard lights
 Maintain radio silence
 Await further instructions.

4.4 Mobile Phones

Refer to SOP3023 use of mobile phones and electronic devices.

Personnel who are provided with mobile phones as part of their work are not permitted to use them
whilst the vehicle they are driving is in motion, unless the vehicle is fitted with hands free
equipment.

Personnel are required to abide by the Client’s rulings for the use of mobile phones onsite

 Down-hill traffic has Right of Way over up-hill traffic – except when entering a confined
area, such as a drop cut where two trucks cannot fit and alternate traffic management plans
have been established

 No person shall approach within fifty (50) metres of SME / HV unless radio contact has
been established and permission given by the SME / HV operator.

 Drive to Conditions - If conditions are wet, the visibility or road/ramp conditions are poor,
then slow down and proceed safely. Advise your supervisor and other operators as to the
change in conditions. Light vehicles to engage 4WD

 When light vehicles are not following other vehicles - they should be driven in a road
position so they can be clearly seen by equipment entering the roadway.

5.4 Giving Way

Do not flash head lights to indicate giving way

If giving way - vehicles must come to a stop, apply hazard lights


and use positive radio communication with the other vehicle

If communication isn’t acknowledged, hold position until response received. Do not assume your
message has been received and understood without confirmation.

5.5 Speed Limits


Mobile Plant Light Vehicle
Access Roads as posted N/A 40km - 70km/hr

Speed limits are managed through the Traffic Management Plan and may differ between sites.
Changes must be done through the change management system and site specific procedures.

5.6 “U” Turns

Ramps – vehicles or equipment are not permitted to do “U” turns on ramps.

Light vehicles may undertake “U” turns on haul roads if there is clear vision in each direction and it
is safe to do so.

SME / HV’s are not permitted to do “U” Turns on haul roads. If required to change direction, they
should find a location off the haulroad where they can turn around on their onside for clear visibility

 Explosives trucks - Delivery / MMU


 Light Vehicles
 Service Trucks
 Moving heavy haul units - dump trucks, scrapers and watercarts
 Equipment under tow, without clearance from towing party
 Escorted vehicles or equipment

Overtaking can be hazardous and must be executed with caution at all times, overtaking is the
responsibility of the overtaking operator

o Overtaking Process
Heavy haul units, light vehicles, light trucks and service trucks may overtake slow moving
vehicles (i.e. dozers, graders, loaders, wheel dozers, excavators, drills), provided they: -

 Are not within 50m of an intersection


 Overtaking operator can clearly see that there is no oncoming traffic
 Overtaking operator has radioed vehicle being overtaken and received positive
acknowledgment “Vehicle #, confirming it is clear and safe to overtake on my right
hand side”
 Overtake on the right hand side (the exception - grader if working on right hand side.
Clearly communication actions. Avoid driving over graded windrows)
 Pull out and overtake only if it is safe to do so

See Section 6.2 for correct communication practice

o Overtaking Stationary / Broken Down Heavy Haul Units


Heavy haul units, light vehicles, light trucks and service trucks may overtake
stationary/broken down heavy equipment and vehicles by the above procedure if:

 Vehicle has hazard lights activated


 Is approached with caution
 Overtaking operating is watching out for personnel attending the stationary vehicle
 It is safe to pass
 Speed has been reduced 20 kph

o Overtaking on Ramps
Heavy haul units and light vehicles/trucks and service trucks may overtake slow moving
equipment (working grader, dozers, drills, excavators, wheel dozers, loaders) travelling up or
down ramps if:

o The equipment being overtaken moves as far to the left hand side as possible
o Comes to a complete stop to allow overtaking vehicle to overtake safely

5.8 Tailgating – Safe Following Distances

All vehicles must maintain a distance of at least fifty (50) metres when travelling behind other
vehicles.

When following a dump truck, light vehicles must travel so they can be seen in the view of the
trucks rear view mirrors.

 Advise Supervisor and all other personnel by radio of equipment and location
 Activate hazard warning lights
 Leave parking lights on if in darkness (if possible)
 The flashing light should remain on.

SME / HV breakdown:
 Place / point the SME/HV to the wall or windrow, without causing damage, then apply park
brake
 Follow “breakdown” procedure as above
 Operator must remain seated at the controls until assistance arrives unless in personal
danger or directed by a Supervisor
 If on a ramp or incline - supervisor must secure the truck using a temporary bund all the
width of the SME / HV and not less than half the height of a truck’s tyres on the down slope.
The temporary bund must be completed before any person approaches or investigates the
breakdown.

5.11 Breakdown Recovery

Broken down vehicles will be parked, have hazard lights illuminated or warning signs and cones
placed around the vehicle to ensure the safety of personnel attending. No person may work where
they are at risk of being hit by passing traffic until controls are put in to eliminate this hazard.

Vehicles are to be towed from roads if repairs are substantial or cannot be conducted safely.

If it is determined that the vehicle is required to be recovered, the following steps must be taken:
 Recovery to be performed under supervision in conjunction with workshop personnel using a JSA
 Determine appropriate towing equipment (slings, tow bars and safe rated shackles). Do not drag
tow ropes or slings
 Notify all personnel by two way radio
 The JSA will determine if it is necessary to close the route to other traffic
 Where practicable move the vehicle at shift change to minimise interruption
 Use a separate radio channel to allow uninterrupted communication for those involved.

On completion give the supervisor to give an “All Clear” on the two-way.
