Traffic Management Plan – 25040286

   9. EMERGENCY ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
   9.1 Traffic Incident Procedures

In the event of an incident or accident, whether or not involving traffic or road users, all work shall cease and
traffic shall be stopped as necessary to avoid further deterioration of the situation. First Aid shall be
administered as necessary, and medical assistance shall be called for if required.

Road plant within the work area that may impact on any services requiring access to a crash site will be
cleared from the area quickly as necessary.

   9.1.1   Serious Injury or Fatality

In the case of serious injury or fatality occurring within the traffic management site all work shall cease
immediately, machinery and vehicles turned off and the area cleared of personnel as soon as possible. Traffic
Controllers (and other personnel if necessary) shall be deployed immediately to ensure no traffic or other road
users approach the area.

An Ambulance and Police shall be called on telephone number 000 where life threatening injuries are
apparent.

All road workers and traffic management personnel shall preserve the scene leaving everything in situ, until
direction is given by Police or WorkSafe.

A site-specific detour route and/or road closure point will be determined, signed and controlled by traffic
management personnel and advised to Police, who will take charge of the site upon arrival. Detour routes will
be determined so as to cater for all types of vehicles required to use them. An example of how to manage an
emergency can be found in Section 5 of AGTTM Part 10.

All site personnel shall be briefed on control procedures covering incidents and crashes that result in serious
injury or fatalities.

If it is determined that a road closure point is required on X Street, to preserve the site, detour routes will be
put in place to the West at L Road and to the East at Q Street. The exit to X Street from L Road will also need
to be closed. This will be signed and controlled by traffic management personnel with road closure, detour
signs and / or other devices outlined in Section 5 of AGTTM Part 10. This detour will be advised to Police, who
will take charge of the site upon arrival. The RAV mapping system indicates Q Street and L Road can be
accessed via P Road and all will cater for all heavy vehicle types that access X Street.

   9.1.2   Minor Incident or Vehicle Break Down within Site

Broken down vehicles and vehicles involved in minor non-injury crashes shall be temporarily moved to the
verge as soon as possible after details of the crash locations have been gathered and noted. Where
necessary to maintain traffic flow, vehicles shall be temporarily moved into the closed section of the work area
behind the cones, providing there is no risk to vehicles and their occupants or workers. Suitable recovery
systems shall be used to facilitate prompt removal of broken down or crashed vehicles. Assistance shall be
rendered to ensure the impact of the incident on the network is minimised.

Any traffic crash resulting in non-life-threatening injury shall be reported to the Qld Police Service on 000.

Details of all incidents and accidents shall be reported to the Site Supervisor and Project Manager using the
incident report form or similar.
