Join us on a journey to explore traffic management strategies in the transport and machinery industry. The presentation will delve into accident and fatality analyses, expert risk models, and the outcomes of planning workshops. Discover the potential for adopting new safety measures in the mining sector. Learn from the experiences of the initial and recent industry teams as they collaborate to improve safety practices. Gain insights into the causes of poor traffic management and the impact on T&M operations. Explore the Expert Risk Model and the outcomes of planning workshops from past sessions. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and contribute to safer work environments.

BRIEF BACKGROUND Transport and Machinery Industry team Initial Industry team Recent industry team
BRIEF BACKGROUND Transport and machinery industry team TRANSPORT & MACHINERY MOSH Adoption Team (Specialist) + 2xManagers + Industry Team Hard Rock Industry Team Open Pit/Cast Industry Team Underground Coal Industry Team
TEAM ACTIVITIES • Team was established in 2013 • Meet once a month for +- 5 hours • Initial discussion on whether PDS should be the focus or not • Accident analysis • Fatality analysis • Expert risk model • Preparation of risk report • Visited • Mogalakwena - Motion inhibitor and bumper, Guardvant • Middelburg Colliery – Traffic Management, DSS • Fatigue – De Beers, CSIR, Kolomela • Preparation for Planning Workshop
Accident and fatality analysis Accident and fatality analysis Outcome of the Accident and Fatality Analysis.
Accident analysis Accident analysis • The team set out to use in-house company information to analyse all T&M related lost time injury events • Information from companies could not be collated as it was provided in MS WORD format.
fatality analysis Fatality analysis • In order to focus on the risks that have the most severe impact on T&M safety the team did a fatality analysis. • The team obtained spreadsheet version of the T&M accidents and incidents reported to the DMR for the period 2008 to 2012. • This enabled analysis since the DMR reporting is standardised. • The team THEN identified causes of fatalities as opposed to the root cause of a fatality. • The Open cast/pit information was then separated from the rest of the T&M information and the outcome was as follows: • 35 people were killed in 34 accidents over the 5 year period.
fatality analysis Fatality analysis (Continue) • 45.7% of fatalities happened at a speed (>8km/h) • 40.0% of fatalities happened a speed (<8km/h) • 48.6% of fatalities were the operator or driver of the machine. • 45.7% of fatalities could be ascribed to undesired behaviour. • 25.7% of fatalities could probably be ascribed to fatigue.
fatality analysis Continue 51.4 % of fatalities were caused by either a Front end Loader or a Hauler/dump truck. • 37.1% of fatalities were as a result of hauling activities (haulers/dumb trucks. • Only 17% of accidents happened at global operations with 83% at operator/local operations. • 34% of fatalities occurred on haul roads, 6% at tip areas, 6% at workshops and 20% in pit areas. • 34% of fatalities were non-specific with regards to location.
Fatality analysis Outcomes Cause of Poor Traffic management • Older mine design principles-legacy projects • Mine capacity expansion increase risk. • Contractors – larger fleets of smaller vehicles • Smaller machines were found to be more vulnerable. • Inappropriate application of industry standards. • Visibility around vehicles • Poor Safety Culture • Restricted space for mine to design optimum separation • People walking/being where they should not be • Drivers not adhering to safety rules • Production / Safety focus • Enforcement of rules / compliance
Fatality analysis Outcomes • Global operations outperform local/owner operated operations at a ratio of 1 to 5 when it comes to T&M fatalities. • Load and Haul are the most dangerous TMMs on Open Cast/Pit T&M operations. • Haulers/Dump Trucks caused the most T&M fatalities in open pit/cast operations. (37.1%). • Fatal accidents mostly happen on haul roads (34%) at speeds above 8 km/h with operators/driver by far the most exposed occupation (48.6%). • Undesired behaviour seems to play a major role in fatalities with over 45% of fatalities that can probably be ascribed to that. • Fatigue seems to be the single biggest contributor to T&M fatalities in Open Cast/Pit operations The Main contributors being: • Fatigue • Traffic Management

PLANNING WORKSHOP Planning workshop Planning workshop outcome
PLANNING WORSHOP October 2014 • Objective of the workshop • Select a MOSH Leading Practice • Agreement on the Source mine(s) • Agree the first adopter mine
Planning workshop The team split into two groups focusing into areas which is: • Fatigue • Traffic Management • Local developments • TMM Mining Regulations • Proximity Warning • Collision Avoidance • Stopping of diesel machines • New TMM Guideline • Fatigue Management COP guidelines promulgated Team then decided to focus on Traffic Management
Planning workshop outcomes Team decided that the Traffic Management should be a leading practice with at least the following elements: • Separation/Design Practices for: • Loading • Tipping • Haul Roads • Shift Changes • Workshops • Hard Parks • Field maintenance and repair • Separation Techniques • Physical • Time Zoning • GEO Fencing
Traffic management leading practice development • Industry team developed 18 elements of the Traffic Management Leading Practice • Took long as result of logistics • 1x meeting per month • Members far and wide • Extensive alignment • Local and international sources were consulted
