Traffic management can take various forms, and the degree of detail will be relevant to the activity, scale and risk of the particular worksite.

There are three levels of traffic management:

1. 1. Traffic Management strategic plan
   2. Site Traffic Management Plans
   3. Traffic Guidance schemes

Not all projects will require all three of the above.  It will depend on the size and nature of the works being conducted and the impact this has on site and public traffic.

The titles of the above may differ depending on your State / Territory, Client, Contractual requirements and/or regulator. However, they will essentially have a similar purpose.

As a minimum, all projects will conduct a risk assessment. This assessment will outline how the movement of vehicles and the interaction with workers and pedestrians will be managed to reduce the risk of collision. These plans and/or schemes must be:

• current
• reflect the conditions of the workplace
• be communicated when changes are made and posted at appropriate locations

Display plans on site entry ways to communicate conditions and access ways to site personnel before they enter site.
