Following BAM Morgan Sindall’s recent successes and awards through 2013 with the Five Point Plan; for the reduction of carriageway crossings, the Joint Venture has now gone on to win the prestigious YHCE award for Health and Safety for the second year in a row!
The scheme has further developed to use of a five point plan into ‘Ten steps to Zero Exposure’- Eliminating the need for road workers to undertake live carriageway crossings and has achieved the delivery of zero crossings on a very heavily congested section of motorway. BmJV have actively worked with their supply chain (Including Chevron) and the customer to enhance their safety performance by delivering best practice and ensuring that they REDUCE and in most cases ELIMINATE the exposure of those who are directly at risk from road users.
OVERVIEW- Ten steps to Zero Exposure
The installation of traffic management equipment adjacent to live motorway traffic is dangerous enough without having to cross live carriageways as well. Picture yourself walking briskly across four lanes of busy motorway carriageway carrying a sign 1200mm square every night of week having to negotiate traffic speeds of 50 -70mph. Or having to retrieve a sign on an open motorway which has blown from a frame into the outside lane of a motorway during 80mph winds. Having to maintain cones on a busy motorway. The impact of this safety initiative has removed these risks in both maintaining and erecting traffic management equipment.
