Please follow the link below to a PowerPoint that explains what happened when high potential incident occurred at a delivery site. A member of the public narrowly avoided being run over by a contract haulage vehicle delivering to a builders merchants. The PowerPoint includes a video of the event recorded by the cameras on site. It provides a powerful reminder of how a pedestrian can be put at risk if proper safety messages are not in place and/or are not followed by all involved.
The alert includes several key learning points applicable to drivers, such as the need to ensure visibility aids are in good order and to check it is safe before pulling forwards, it also highlights the importance of effective site traffic management plans, the need for banksmen to be trained and competent, and for us all to use designated pedestrian crossing points wherever possible.
