TITLE
FEL Collision with Parked Site Tour Mini Bus
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

WHAT HAPPENED

A contractors FEL was parked in a mobile plant parking area when a site tour mini bus pulled up and parked in its normal drop off point. The mini bus was parked around 2m behind a stationary loading shovel.
The school party had dismounted the bus & were clear of the incident heading towards the primary control room when the loader operator climbed back into his machine, he checked his rear visibility but did not do this effectively as he was concentrating on ensuring all site visitors were well clear of his machine. As the operator reversed and turned he came into contact with the Mini bus.
The operator was fully inducted and trained, and all visual aids were available to him.

•A joint traffic management review is to take place with the on site contractor.
•RA and SWP to be reviewed for the operation of site tour mini busses, to include safe parking exclusion zones.
