Example site report
Mobile plant near miss at scaffold delivery zone
Structured output
Summary
A telehandler entered a shared access route during scaffold unloading and narrowly missed a pedestrian contractor crossing the laydown area. No injury was reported, but the event exposed a credible struck-by risk and a breakdown in temporary site controls.
Root cause
Inadequate plant and pedestrian segregation, combined with reduced visibility at the laydown edge, resulted in an uncontrolled interface between unloading activity and foot traffic.
Risk assessment
MEDIUM: The event involved credible potential for serious injury due to moving plant operating within a shared access route without effective exclusion controls.
Corrective actions
- 1Reinstate a clearly marked exclusion zone for unloading and mobile plant movement.
- 2Assign a banksman or spotter during delivery activity where pedestrian routes intersect plant access.
- 3Review the pre-task risk assessment and toolbox briefing for unloading controls before the next delivery.
