Rev. 00, 30 Mar 2023 Page | 9
Traffic Management and Logistics

Communication with site personnel is necessary to ensure the safety of drivers, workers on the site and the general public. If
a specific risk or hazard that cannot be eliminated is identified, operations shall not take place until control measures have
been determined and implemented.

Designated loading/unloading areas shall be sectioned off as required, a check shall be done for overhead electric cables or
buried utilities, the area cleared of debris, and any uneven surfaces identified.

Pedestrians and workers not involved in the loading/unloading process shall vacate the area. There shall be no chance of
vehicles coming into contact with stray cables or wires and equipment shall be parked on firm level ground so the load can
be positioned evenly. A safe waiting place shall also be available to all persons on site that are not involved in the loading /
unloading until the operation is completed and loads are appropriately restrained.

Refer to RSG Loading, Unloading and Manual Handling procedure RSG-HS-COS-0006 for more details.

4.8.3 Load Restraint/Security

Uneven loads and surfaces shall cause trailers/trucks or vehicles to lose balance, so all weight should be distributed as evenly
as possible throughout the loading and unloading process. All equipment shall be loaded, positioned and secured in a safe
and logical manner that eliminates the risk of movement and in a way that considers the unloading process – to ensure no
unnecessary risk at the end of the journey.

Load restraints shall be checked periodically to ensure that there has not been any movement of the load during the journey
and that there has not been any wear on the restraints themselves and that they are still safe.

Job-specific equipment and processes shall be in place to ensure loading and unloading of equipment is done safely.

• Vehicles shall be fitted with warning lights and signals and appropriate signage.

• High visibility cones or barricades shall be used to cordon off the work zone as necessary.

• Qualified Operators or Crane Operators shall be used when required.

• A harness system shall be used when working at height is warranted, and

• PPE used at all times.

A strict procedure for controlling trucks and trailers arriving to deliver construction material to the construction site shall be
enforced. This shall include strict adherence to the use of the temporary access road and interior ones. Delivery shall be
controlled via a simple delivery booking system and restricted to an assigned truck holding area.

All delivery trucks shall be accompanied by a delivery note that shall detail the following:

• Location plan of construction area to which the material is to be delivered and routing plan to reach the location.

• Consignee (Contractor receiving materials).

• Name of on-site contract person with telephone number.

• Intended offloading location.

• Driver’s security pass and vehicle number.

All equipment and materials shall be delivered directly to the Contractor’s lay down/staging areas for each main construction
zone or phase.

All trucks entering the development construction zone, except muck away (excavation spoil), cement, sand, aggregates and
waste removal trucks, may be required to proceed to a truck holding area on arrival. The driver shall park the vehicle and
report to the guard post or security cabin.

Trucks carrying sand, aggregate, and cement may proceed directly to concrete supply and/or batching plants by agreed
routes. The areas for the batching plants would be indicated within the site logistics drawing, as appropriate.

Prior to commencing export of excavation spoil, the Contractor shall agree on a procedure for controlling muck away trucks
with the responsible project manager. When necessary, parking/waiting space in a traffic holding area shall be provided from
where the Contractor shall call forward trucks.

Visitors shall be required to have advised attendance in advance. A notification is to be sent by the Contractors to the
gatehouse advising of the visitor attendance.

4.9 Material Storage and Distribution

4.9.1 General Requirements

All materials shall be safely stacked, away from fences and hoardings, and located to minimize re-handling and reduce
transport distances.

Contractor personal with logistics and housekeeping responsibilities shall:

• Maintain cleanliness of the site areas, site access and egress routes and storage areas to the satisfaction of the
projects’ management team.

• Maintain cleanliness of common user access areas and escape routes.

• Maintain cleanliness of public interface areas including adjacent operational areas (dust/dirt caused from
construction activities), head of stand areas, airside roads, areas within the terminal and pier open to the public.

• Liaise daily with all the various trades to ensure the smooth flow of all materials to a designated point of use. The
point of use shall be defined as an area close to where the materials shall actually be installed. The materials to be
handled shall be defined on a matrix developed by the construction management team.

All equipment and materials shall be delivered directly to the Contractor’s lay down/staging areas for each main construction
zone. A strict procedure shall be enforced such to avoid double handling and that equipment and material deliveries are
planned in advance. This shall be detailed in a project specific logistic plan and its updates.

4.9.2 Securing Material at Height

All construction materials that might be blown or swept off of roofs, exposed floors or scaffolds are effectively secured when
work has ceased and/or high winds are predicted.

• Projects fundamentally need to be aware of both the wind speed at the time of work activity and the forecast wind
condition from the local authority of meteorology and any weather alerts issued.

• All roofing materials, plant and equipment etc. shall be stored/positioned in a way that they cannot fall.

• Any materials or plant stored on the roof and which could be dislodged by work activities shall be secured to
prevent them falling. Items positioned close to any edge or opening require special consideration.

• When actual or forecast high winds are experienced it is imperative that construction and packaging materials that
could be blown off the building is securely fastened and weighed down where possible.

• An essential part of roof work supervision is the final check on the storage arrangements at the end of each shift.
This is particularly important when inclement weather is imminent. At the end of each day’s activity/shift any
materials that could be blown off the building overnight needs to be either fastened or stored in a suitable area
away from the building edge. The item(s) can then be either secured if still exposed to the elements or stored in an
enclosed area.

• It is essential all material, particularly sheet material is secured to prevent it being accidentally blown off structures
and scaffolds or across the site. This equally applies to sheet material stored at ground level on exposed sites.

Important: Do not attempt to secure materials or scaffolds once danger levels have been reached. If this happens the site
shall be shut down.

4.10 Temporary Road Closures

Prior to full or partial closure of a roadway on sites the following is to be completed:

• An assessment of emergency access and egress points including the provision of alternatives as required.

• Installation of barricading appropriate to the traffic impact risk.

• Visibility of barricading after daylight hours.

• Notification and approval of closure from RSG Logistic team.

All site road closures that significantly alter the traffic flow are to be notified to the RSG Logistic team and Construction team
twenty-four (24) hours before the closure. Road closures shall be included in the daily communication for distribution to all
team members.
