After looking at all of our land sites, we found we were not managing site forklift/traffic/pedestrian hazards to ALARP or industry best practice. Our focus on hydrocarbon hazards may have contributed to a lack of attention to this risk. We encourage all EP land sites to review how they are managing this hazard, supported by the learning listed below: Some learning specific to this incident

• Segregate pedestrian and vehicle areas
• Road traffic risks for sites should be assessed, maintained and reviewed as changes occur.
• Site driving policy should be reviewed with drivers and pedestrians to ensure they clearly understand their road safety risks

Some additional Best Practices for managing Road Traffic Hazards:

• Optimal and enforced speed limits and traffic controls
• Competent forklift drivers with ongoing refresher training
• Optimal Traffic Management Plan that minimises traffic, reversing, etc., provides adequate space, segregates people and vehicles
• Consider methods to improve forklift driver vision (e.g elevated cab, cameras, swivel chair, etc.)
• Controls established when people are working in vehicle areas (e.g high visual clothes, limited vehicle access)
• Reversing alerts (flashing lights, beeping horns)
