Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 249
S Martin – 2 June 2011
Technician Struck By Vehicle
Please see enclosed self explanatory JCI safety bulletin.
Traffic is one of the most dangerous hazards on site; drivers can do the most unexpected
things or just fail to see what is right in front of them. It’s critical that we take this into
account when preparing the work area and placing barriers and wherever possible try to
park out of the line of fire. Where possible, always try to use your van as a barrier as it is
more likely to be seen and more likely to stop a vehicle if hit.
Risk management is a big step towards accident prevention; however, it is dependent on the risk firstly
being identified, then controlled. We need safety awareness to be instinctive and form an integral part
of both our working and home lives; it is this, in turn, that may save the lives of others. Remember: if
shared, risks can be mitigated before they pose a threat.
If you have any queries regarding the Safety Bulletin content or require further information please
