TABLE 202B.2 – QUALITATIVE MEASURES OF LIKELIHOOD

Likelihood Description

Rare

The event or hazard:may occur only in exceptional circumstances,will probably occur with a frequency of less than 0.02 times per year (i.e. less than once in 50 years).

Unlikely

The event or hazard:could occur at some time,will probably occur with a frequency of 0.02 to 0.1 times per year (i.e. once in 10 to 50 years).

Possible

The event or hazard:might occur at some time,will probably occur with a frequency of 0.1 to 1 times per year (i.e. once in 1 to 10 years).

LikelyThe event or hazard:will probably occur in most circumstances,will probably occur with a frequency of between 1 and 10 times per year.

Almost certain

The event or hazard:is expected to occur in most circumstances,will probably occur with a frequency in excess of 10 times per year.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The likelihood of an event or hazard occurring shall first be assessed over the duration of the activity (i.e. “period of exposure”). For risk assessment purposes the assessed likelihood shall then be proportioned for a “period of exposure” of one year.

Example: An activity has a duration of 6 weeks (i.e. “period of exposure” = 6 weeks). The event or hazard being considered is assessed as likely to occur once every 20 times the activity occurs (i.e. likelihood or frequency = 1 event/20 times activity occurs = 0.05 times per activity). Assessed annual likelihood or frequency = 0.05 times per activity x 52 weeks/6 weeks = 0.4 times per year. Assessed likelihood = Possible.

FOR REFERENCE ONLY – DELETE GUIDANCE NOTES FROM FINAL DOCUMENT

1. All edits to downloaded Specifications shall be made using Track Changes, to clearly show added/deleted text.

2. If all information relating to a clause is deleted, the clause number should be retained and the words “NOT USED” should be inserted.

3. The proposed documents with tracked changes shall be submitted to the Project Manager for review, prior to printing the final batch of documents. When this final printing is carried out, the tracked changes option is to be turned off.

4. Before printing accept all changes in the document, turn off Track Changes and refresh the Table of Contents.

5. The Custodian of this specification is Road Safety Policy Manager.

1. PRINCIPAL IDENTIFIED HAZARDS (Annexure 202A)

1.1 Edit the CONTRACT MANDATORY hazards to suit the Works by deleting those not required, and add any CONTRACT SPECIFIC hazards as necessary.

2. SIDETRACKS AND DETOURS (Clauses 202.43 and 202.81)

2.1 Where sidetracks or detours are required, include Clause 202.81 under the section CONTRACT SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS as a supplement to Clause 202.43. Complete Annexure 202C as required.

2.2 Project Managers should consider the use of sealed sidetracks for the safe movement of traffic through the Works. Problems have been experienced on Works where traffic (especially motorcyclists) has been required to travel on wet unsealed sections of construction.

2.3 Design Requirements (Annexure 202C) – The Tables must be filled in to ensure compliance with requirements. Please note that a construction-staging plan should be developed along with the design such that the Principal can prove that the construction of the Works can be done. The staging plan MUST be included in the Information for Tenderers Book for Contractors to be informed that the design was developed using this proposed staging. The Contractor may wish to approach staging differently as an innovation to the Contract.

2.4 Exclusions for sidetracks must complement the Environmental requirements.

3. STAGING REQUIREMENTS (Annexure 202G)

3.1 The Contractor's Traffic Management Plan will as required be based on the provisions contained in the staging requirements for the Works as shown in Annexure 202G, which could include the need for Separable Portions to the Contract.

3.2 These requirements should be inserted as necessary where complex traffic control measures are involved, as may be the case for Works in densely trafficked urban areas.



3.3 Annexure 202G may also include diagrams as appropriate, or simply refer to the Drawings.

3.4 If not a requirement, delete Annexure 202G.

4. TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS (Annexure 202H)

4.1 Special requirements for Traffic Management can be inserted here, such as may be required for densely trafficked urban situations.

4.2 Examples of typical requirements for inclusion in the Contractor’s TGS could be as follows:

a) Work to traffic lanes will be confined to non-peak traffic periods. Peak traffic periods for normal weekdays Monday to Friday will be taken as:

7.00 am to 9.00 am for the morning peak4.00 pm to 6.00 pm for the evening peak

(Check peak traffic times for the particular Works situation)

b) The existing number of traffic lanes may need to be maintained at all times. The minimum lane width available to traffic during the Works will be 3.0 m. The minimum width of temporary traffic islands or medians will be 1.5 m.

(Again, check appropriate details)

c) The maximum gradient for any temporary traffic ramp will be 10%, and will be negotiable in safety by semi-trailers and other large commercial vehicles.

d) Through traffic lanes may need to be maintained in a sealed condition at all times. Newly-constructed through traffic lanes open to traffic without the final bituminous surface treatment will be provided with the surface treatment as specified in Annexure 202C. This requirement will also apply at all weekends and Public Holidays.

e) The column “Other” could include the number of lanes required to be open for traffic during “periods of no work” longer than one day.
