Blind spots on Heavy Vehicles are not considered when deciding on workplace layout (during mine or shift planning), caused by:
- Location of walkways without adequate sight lines
- Failure to establish or improve intersection demarcation and/or lighting
This Credible Failure mode is addressed by:
- BI-01P.13 Sight lines and blind spots from outside – information prepared for people who work around vehicles
- BI-04D.03 Road design guidelines specify walkway designs considering vehicle sight lines
- BI-05D.01 Clear accountabilities for managers, superintendents and supervisors are included in comprehensive, site relevant road design guidelines and traffic management plans
- BI-05S.05 Appropriate system for scheduled inspections include structured checklists and defect reporting
