​Safe Working With Plant

Introduction

Plant and machinery is systematically used in the maintenance and improvement of the highway network. This plant makes operations safer, faster, and more efficient. It also introduces secondary risks to those who operate, work around, or have the potential to be affected by it.
 
Data suggests that plant person interface injuries are relatively uncommon. However, due to the power, weight and hardness of plant, compared with the fragility of the human body, when they do occur the consequences are often serious.
 
Increasing investment in roads, standardisation of products and methods, improved collaboration between organisations and developments in technology all offer opportunities to increase the HSW benefits we can derive from the use of plant as well as opportunities to eliminate harm caused by plant.
