What is a Traffic Management Plan?

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is a document that outlines the movement of mobile plant and people within a site, identifies hazards and risks, and provides strategies to minimise them. An effective TMP provides workers and visitors with a clear understanding of designated traffic routes and zones, safety protocols and control measures, ensuring a safe and legally compliant workplace. 

A Traffic Management Plan considers various forms of traffic in the workplace, including:

  • People: Workers and visitors.
  • Vehicles: Delivery trucks, vans, and waste-carrying equipment. 
  • Mobile Plant Equipment: Forklifts, rollers, and elevated working platforms like scissor lifts.

What outcomes
can you expect?

A Traffic Management Plan is designed to enhance the safety of workers, pedestrians, and drivers by minimising traffic-related risks and ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The plan should serve as a foundation for training all workers, contractors, and visitors and must be included in their respective inductions.

It applies to all vehicles on-site, including company-owned, contractor, and personal vehicles, as well as visitors. This ensures that everyone on-site understands where they should go and which areas to avoid.

The plan includes a comprehensive analysis of your worksite’s features to identify and address potential risks. These features include:

  • Open walkways
  • Shared zones
  • Poor visibility areas
  • Traffic patterns

To enhance safety, the Traffic Management Plan implements measures such as barriers, line marking, safety signage, bollards, and other control systems to mitigate risks. Your business will require a complete site safety audit to determine what is necessary. Once the plan is developed, it should be implemented promptly to address the identified risks effectively.
