Work Activity: Surveying and inspection activities on the roadside.
•  Site Suitability Survey and Assessment
o  Sites wil  be surveyed to determine their suitability for mobile speed camera enforcement
operations. The assessment involves verifying safety conditions and capturing at least four
roadside photographs of the vehicle and its surroundings, without entering live traﬃc.

Best Practice Guidance for Traﬃc Management (TTM)
As per WorkSafe New Zealand: Site Traﬃc Management and Safe Reversing and Spotting Practices

1.  BEST PRACTICES FOR USING ROTATING BEACONS

Information
Daytime Use: Rotating beacons should be used during the day to enhance visibility and alert other road users when
a vehicle is actively working and poses a potential hazard.
•  When to Use: Beacons should be activated during construction, maintenance, or other activities that may
create risks for others
•  When Not to Use: If legal y parked without obstructing traﬃc, beacons are unnecessary, as misuse may
cause confusion.
Official
•  Exceptions:
o  Beacons may be needed when parked in high-risk areas or during loading/unloading.
o  Beacons are not required in designated street parking, authorised parking zones, or similar
the
environments

Nighttime Use: Beacons play a crucial role in increasing visibility in low-light conditions, helping prevent accidents
by ensuring vehicles are seen by road users. Their use enhances safety by reducing risks and is also required for
regulatory compliance in areas where stationary vehicles may pose hazards.
Best Practices for Nighttime Use:
under
•  Activate When Stationary: Turn on the beacon if a parked vehicle poses a risk, such as near roadways.
•  Use in Hazardous Conditions: Activate beacons during adverse weather or low-visibility situations.
•  Consult with Workers: Establish clear guidelines for eﬀective nighttime beacon use to ensure safety
measures are wel  understood and fol owed.

It is recommended using rotating beacons only when necessary to signal potential hazards, ensuring their eﬀectiveness
while maintaining compliance with safety regulations.

Released
2.  SAFE ENTRY AND EXIT PROCEDURE WITHIN THE INSPECTION SITE

Procedure for Safe Entry:
a.  Activate beacons approximately 6 - 10 seconds before reaching the site.
b.  Indicate for at least 3 seconds before beginning to pul  left. Always enter the site from the left.

c.  Pul  as far left as possible and turn indicators oﬀ. Turn oﬀ beacons once the vehicle is safely parked oﬀ the
lane. (See “Best Practices for Using Rotating Beacons” for beacon use guidelines)
d.  Check mirrors for approaching traﬃc before opening the door and exiting the vehicle. The inspector must
wear a high-visibility garment before exiting the vehicle.

Procedure for Safe Exit:
a.  Before re-entering the vehicle, check for approaching traﬃc and ensure it is safe before moving
between the live lane and the work vehicle. The inspector must wear a high-visibility garment.
b.  With beacons activated, indicate your intentions for at least 3 seconds and check the mirror for a safe
gap in traﬃc. (See “Best Practices for Using Rotating Beacons” for beacon use guidelines)
c.  Accelerate and merge safely into the traﬃc lane. Keep an eye on incoming traﬃc behaviour.
1982
d.  Once the vehicle reaches the normal operating speed of the road, switch oﬀ the beacon and drive
safely to the next location or back to the yard.

Act
Responsibilities
Supervisors oversee training, risk assessments, and compliance, while ﬁeld staﬀ conduct pre-deployment checks, fol ow
lone worker protocols, and report incidents. Operations and maintenance teams ensure vehicle and equipment
reliability through regular inspections, and security teams provide support for lone workers and manage public
interactions when needed.

Resources & Contingency Plans
Operational safety relies on GPS systems, PPE, duress alarms, ﬁrst aid kits, and emergency protocols. Backup
equipment, real-time weather monitoring, and alternative sites minimise disruptions and enhance preparedness in
high-risk conditions.
Information

Success Measurement & Monitoring
Daily inspections, compliance checks, and incident logs ensure risk control eﬀectiveness. Regular training, policy updates,
and performance reviews address gaps, reinforcing safety, accountability, and operational reliability.
Monitoring and Review
Official
Ongoing monitoring wil  ensure risk treatment eﬀectiveness, with staﬀ being observed for compliance and supervisors
conducting  site  inspections,  equipment  checks,  and  lone  worker  safety  assessments.  Incidents  and  risks  wil   be
documented for analysis and improvement. Feedback from oﬃcers will help identify challenges, leading to refresher
training and updates based on emerging risks. Findings wil  be recorded in performance reports to drive continuous
the
improvement.

On-site dynamic risk assessments wil  enable staﬀ to respond to changing conditions. If unexpected hazards arise, work
will be halted immediately, ensuring a proactive and adaptable safety approach.

• Allow for Barrier Deflection
Maintain a minimum offset (as required in Acusensus’ guidelines):
o 1 m from concrete or steel barriers
o 3 m from wire rope barriers
Confirm deflection requirements via M23 or the barrier manufacturer.
• Use Designated Gaps
Only enter behind barriers where a clear access point exists. Never mount kerbs or cross continuous barriers. •
Stay Within the Protected Zone
1982
Park ful y inside the barrier so doors open into the safe zone. Keep out of the deflection space between the
barrier and live lane.
Act
• Do Not Enter the Deflection Zone on Foot
Never stand or place equipment in the space between the barrier and traffic. This area must remain clear in
case the barrier is struck.
• Keep Clear of End Terminals
Do not park or work near the start or end of a permanent barrier system. These terminals are high-risk impact
zones.
o Allow at least 10–15 m clearance upstream of terminals (check specific barrier type).
o Wait until past the terminal zone before stopping behind the barrier.
• Use Beacons When Appropriate
