• Separate pedestrian routes from plant routes using physical barriers wherever possible.
• Plan and brief the PPI arrangements at every pre-start meeting before work begins.
• Make positive eye contact with the operator before entering any plant working area.
• Wear high-visibility clothing appropriate to the site conditions at all times on site.
• Appoint trained banksmen for all operations where pedestrians work near mobile plant.
• Use designated crossing points to move between work areas separated by haul routes.
• Stop and reassess if a planned segregation arrangement breaks down during the task.
• Report every near miss involving plant and pedestrians — they are warnings of fatalities.
• Use radios to communicate positions between operators and ground workers continuously.
• Review PPI arrangements whenever the site layout, work sequence, or plant types change.

• DON'T walk through a plant operating area without confirming the safe system with the operator.
• DON'T assume an operator can see you — blind spots exist on every machine regardless of mirrors.
• DON'T take shortcuts across haul roads or through active excavation zones to save time.
• DON'T rely on reversing alarms alone as an effective warning — they create alert fatigue.
• DON'T allow familiarity with daily plant movements to reduce your awareness of the danger.
• DON'T store materials, skips, or welfare units where they force pedestrians into plant routes.
• DON'T wear earphones, hoods, or anything that reduces your hearing near operating plant.
• DON'T allow new workers into plant areas without a specific PPI briefing for that zone.
• DON'T stand in the swing arc of a slewing excavator even during breaks or conversations.
• DON'T dismiss near-miss reports — each one represents a potential fatality that was narrowly avoided.
