Human error isn't the only factor in road crashes—road infrastructure is key to reducing them. This road safety engineering manual shows how to use crash data to identify and fix hazardous traffic blackspots in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) region. Designed to support engineers, traffic police, and road planners, it explains why investments in road safety not only save lives, but they also provide significant returns to the community.

Have you considered the need to properly audit your maintenance providers? Ensuring that your providers adhere to the Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness (GTMR) is vital – not doing so could put road safety and your licence at risk. It is recommended that you check the suitability of maintenance providers by: ⚠️ Asking what qualifications they have ⚠️ Checking what equipment they have ⚠️ See if their PMI sheets comply with the GTMR’s requirements Want to find out more?

Continuing for Week 2 of the NSC's National Safety Month, we highlight Roadway Safety. For those in the construction industry, it's easy to know what consists of a fleet, but what about other industries?

The complexity of shipboard equipment combined with increasing operational requirements is always a burden for the on board maintainers. Budgetary cutbacks and ineffective logistics add in the mix. The elephant was always present, today's culture requirements combined with the current inability to fill shipboard posts probably makes it easier for top brass to admit it.

Guidance on the use of devices impacting ship maneuverability (EPL & SHAPOLI ) : 1. Framework for Decision-Making: The guidance provides a framework for decision-making regarding the use of devices that could negatively impact ship maneuverability. Operators are encouraged to prioritize safety while navigating through restricted waterways. 2. Updating Ship Documentation: Ships with permanent power modifications must update pilot cards and wheelhouse posters to reflect maneuverability changes resulting from the installed device. Compliance with regulations is essential for safe navigation, and failure to update documents may result in non-compliance. 3. Compliance with Regulations: Regulation 33 CFR § 164.11 (k) mandates informing pilots of all ship maneuvering characteristics. Failure to update documentation after installing devices like EPL/SHaPoLi systems can lead to non-compliance. If not updated, the system must be overridden before entry into U.S. territorial waters. 4. Override Considerations: Overrides of EPL/SHaPoLi systems should be limited, except in emergencies. Consideration of additional safety measures by relevant authorities is necessary before entry into U.S. territorial waters if overrides are deemed necessary for safe navigation. 5. Advance Preparation: Override procedures, if required, should be completed well in advance of navigating through restricted waters. Operators should exercise discretion in choosing between overriding mechanical EPL/SHaPoLi systems and implementing other operational safety measures for underpowered ships. 6. Reporting Requirements: Ships must adhere to reporting guidelines for EPL/SHaPoLi override and reserve power usage to the flag state and/or Recognized Organization (RO). U.S. flagged ships are required to report to Flag State Control (CVC-4) and the cognizant OCMI for ships in U.S. waters. 7. System Re-engagement: Operators must ensure that overridden systems are re-engaged once the ship is clear of the situation or area requiring the override. This step is crucial for maintaining operational safety.

🛣️ What is a Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA)? A Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA) is a crucial piece of road safety equipment designed to protect workers and motorists in construction zones and highway maintenance areas. Mounted on the rear of a truck, the TMA acts as a cushion, absorbing the impact of vehicles that may inadvertently enter the work zone. Why is a TMA Necessary? 1️⃣Worker Protection: TMAs provide a protective barrier between workers and passing vehicles, reducing the risk of serious injuries or fatalities in construction zones. 2️⃣Motorist Safety: By absorbing the impact energy of vehicles, TMAs minimize the severity of collisions, protecting motorists from harm and preventing secondary accidents. 3️⃣Reduced Property Damage: TMAs help prevent damage to vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure by safely redirecting errant vehicles away from work zones. 4️⃣Enhanced Road Safety: With increased visibility and advanced warning signs, TMAs improve overall road safety by alerting drivers to upcoming hazards and construction activities. In essence, Truck Mounted Attenuators play a vital role in ensuring the safety of road workers and motorists, making them an indispensable component of any road construction project. #roadconstruction #RoadSafety #ConstructionZoneSafety #TMA 🚧🚦

The majority of construction transport accidents result from the inadequate separation of pedestrians and vehicles. This can usually be avoided by careful planning, particularly at the design stage, and by controlling vehicle operations during construction work. Interesting reading on the article below, I think Kiewit are one of the forerunners in-terms of safety and how they promote their business operations both on and off the field. #welldone #kiewit
