The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) have recently published The New Zealand guide to temporary traffic management (NZGTTM). The Guide moves away from the traditional scenario based guidance, to outlining how to use a risk-based approach to plan and mitigate the risks to road workers and road users to keep them safe.
The EEA through the Temporary Traffic Management Working Group have developed a document that provides practical guidance for Electricity Distribution Business’s (EDBs) to assist with the consideration of major risk factors and assessment of the appropriate risk mitigation and control measures involved with work, which is of short term duration, low risk to road users, and carried out in the road reserve, i.e. not in a live lane.
To support the release of this guide the EEA will be hosting a webinar explaining the background and application the guide.
Join us at 2pm on the 27th March to hear more.
Our thanks go out to the working group supporting the industry with the publication the Temporary Traffic Management – Risk-based Scenarios Electrical Distribution Industry.
