A practical workshop designed to assist local government, and others working in local streets, with practical cost-effective TTM solutions which deliver safe WHS outcomes. This workshop will demonstrate how to significantly improve the efficiency of TTM application at your sites.

Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) arrangements applied in the local road environment are frequently reported / observed to be excessive and lacking in common sense for the scale of the works and level of risk. Combined with the TTM costs consequently representing 40 to 80% of the actual job costs, a clear need exists for more appropriate solutions.

Dr Dan Sullivan has assisted local authorities and utility organisations since publication of the Guides to Temporary Traffic Management in identifying / developing cost and risk effective solutions for TTM in these environments. Observations on site with clients confirms that in many cases “conservatively safe” practices are being applied by others. However, these practices are typically time consuming to implement, reduce productivity and increase TTM costs. Perversely they often introduce more safety risks than they mitigate.

Documented relaxations and practices exist for exactly these situations. There are also opportunities to develop risk based solutions which are more practicable, improve works efficiency, reduce TTM costs and reduce the WHS risks at the site.

This half-day workshop provides a practical overview of the documented relaxations and application in these local street environments and includes the opportunity to develop case examples for the TTM at your works activities.

IPWEA-QNT in conjunction with Solutions in Transport, is offering a half-day workshop to provide support for local governments and others working in local streets.
