Road traffic: cars & trucks Preparing for a journey
Make sure the journey is necessary.
Determine the most suitable means of transport.
Identify the itinerary: required distance and time.
Take the necessary precautions as regards hazardous conditions during the journey (roads in poor condition, flooding, risk of interference with site operations, weather on the day, etc.).
Choose the right vehicle for the journey.
Check that the driver’s license is suitable for the vehicle.
Identify places for rest stops if traveling long distances.
What about you? In your work or for your own travel, how do you prepare for your journeys?

Before you set off
Make sure you are authorized to use the vehicle (insurance, specific site conditions, etc.).
Inspect the vehicle: overall condition, tires, indicators, lights, windshield wipers, etc.
Check that the safety equipment is present: high-visibility vest, triangle, fire extinguishers, wheel chocks where appropriate, etc.
Do not start out unless the driver is fit to undertake the journey (i.e. not tired, not under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication, etc.).
Use only vehicles that have enough seatbelts for everybody.
Seatbelts must be fastened before starting the journey.
Cellphones must be switched off.
Passengers and goods/materials to be kept strictly separate.
Did you know that nearly one in ten accidents is caused by underinflated tires?

During the journey
Respect the speed limits.
Adapt speed to the circumstances: condition of the road, volume of
traffic, weather conditions, etc.
Drivers must not use cellphones, even with hands-free devices.
Respect safety distances (the “2-seconds rule”).
Maintain constant vigilance as to traffic conditions and other road users.
Make sure your intentions and actions are clear to other road users (be
seen and foreseeable).
Respect daily driving times (rest stops every two hours): adapt the
driving duration and rest time to the environment and to traffic problems.
Have you been in an accident related to any of the points above?

On arrival
Park in a manner that is safe for both passengers and vehicle.
Reverse into the parking space in order to…
leave the space safely and with optimum visibility
avoid maneuvering in reverse gear at the end of the day, and so maintain traffic
flow in the car park.
Report any incident (logbook, anomaly report, event report, etc.).
Report any new hazardous condition identified.
8 - References, date, location
On-site traffic: specific conditions
Be familiar with the traffic plan for the site.
Move around within the authorized paths.
Park in the designated parking spaces.
Comply with the special restrictions that apply in some areas: explosive
or toxic atmospheres, maneuvering zones, etc.).
Continue to respect the rules of the road within site boundaries.
Respect the signs in place and the speed limits displayed.
Reminder: G&M HSE-SRD-006 issued by the Group gives a recap of all
the good practices for on-site traffic. Have you read it?
What are the specific traffic-related hazards on your site?

Pedestrians and cyclists
Move around at a normal pace.
Use the paths marked out on the ground.
Remain vigilant, especially where there is limited or no visibility, e.g. at
intersections, exit routes from buildings, hangars, etc.
At any place where a vehicle or machine is likely to cross your path,
stop for as long as necessary to make sure the way is clear.
Expect the unexpected, for example:
a truck starting up its engine suddenly
a fork-lift or other machine reversing
a driver failing to see you
…and stay at a safe distance from other vehicles.
Continue to respect the rules of the road on site; respect signage and
use the paths provided for pedestrians/cyclists.
Do you know which areas on your site are dangerous for pedestrians and why? What do you think should be done to
reduce the risks?

Fork-lifts
Choose a machine with the appropriate load capacity.
Check it before use (fill in the check-list).
Check that you are suitably authorized to drive the machine in question.
Keep its dimensions in mind while driving (particularly when crossing
thresholds, passing openings and racks).
Allow for the weight of the machine and its load with regard to braking
distances.
Heighten vigilance to factor in a restricted visual field (especially when
moving a load).
Adapt speed to the circumstances (e.g. reversing, weight of the load,
ground surface condition, visibility, swing doors, etc.).
Wear a seatbelt (strongly recommended).
Use a forklift only for its intended purpose.

Accidents
2010, Nigeria
A truck carrying a load of 33,000 l of fuel, to be delivered to a gas station, had
an accident - with no third-party involvement - around 80 km from its
destination. The truck’s electronic on board recorder showed that the
accident occurred at a speed between 70 and 80 km/h. The speed limit for
tanker trucks on national roads is 60 km/h.
The driver and his assistant were killed instantly, the tank was damaged
and all the product spilled out.
2004, France:
The forklift driver got feeling to face an abnormal situation. After having
stopped his forklift he discovered one of his colleagues lying on the ground.
The forklift was transporting 2 pallets of cylinders of gas, for loading a trailer
at the opposite of the loading area. The victim was crossing on feet the
movement zone of the forklift. He died immediately.

Accidents
2009, Algeria: returning from a client meeting, a sales engineer who worked
from home was using his company car. On his way home from the meeting, a
truck crashed into his car.
He died instantly from the impact of the collision.
2004, Belgium
An operator was cycling from one place to
another in the refinery.
A tractor was coming from the opposite
direction when, apparently through
inattention, the cyclist cut in front of the
tractor. The ensuing collision proved fatal for
the cyclist. Part of a “Do not enter” sign had
been erased, and use of the tractor was not
permitted by the plant’s established rules (for
transporting passengers, etc.).
The operator was killed.
