Vehicles and Pedestrians
• All speed limits must be adhered to - site speed limit 15 or 20mph.
• Extreme caution should be taken when on campus due to the large numbers of students moving between buildings (particularly at the end of lectures)
• Manoeuvring, particularly reversing, must be carried out carefully (preferably with the use of a banksman and/or reversing sounders for large vehicles).
![Page 6: University of Surrey Becky Williams – H&S Officer Contractor Site Induction 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551656c35503469d698b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hazards in Occupied Areas
• Where work (particularly construction work) takes place in occupied areas, special care must be taken to eliminate or minimise the effects on staff and students.
• It is essential that pedestrians and vehicles are segregated. It may be necessary to provide temporary walkways and access.
![Page 7: University of Surrey Becky Williams – H&S Officer Contractor Site Induction 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551656c35503469d698b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hazards where the contractor is in control:
• Perimeter fences must be maintained to a high standard.
• Changing fence lines and access routes are only to be carried out in agreement with University Project Manager.
• Deliveries by large vehicles must be planned well in advance. Also ideally, they should be in an area fenced off.
![Page 8: University of Surrey Becky Williams – H&S Officer Contractor Site Induction 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551656c35503469d698b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Leave working areas safe
• All work areas must be left in a safe condition when work has stopped for any reason, even for short periods if left unattended. Where areas are shared, provision must be made to exclude unauthorised persons.
• All plant and equipment must be secured. Flammable liquids must be stored properly and not left out overnight.
• A tidy site is a safe site – Good housekeeping is a must.
