Workplace Transport / Mobile Work Equipment

• Always use designated pedestrian traffic routes when walking around site. Don’t take shortcuts!
• Observe vehicle reversing alarms and signals. Never assume the driver can see you.
• Move to a safe position until the vehicle has moved off.
• Only use transport equipment if trained and authorised.
• Only use vehicles fit for the intended purpose.
• Do not ride on any vehicle not designed to carry passengers
• Always observe the site traffic rules, speed limits, etc.
