Risk Assessments
Safety Risk Management for Transport Networks
A safety risk assessment is the documented way you show a hazard was found, rated, and dealt with properly. We identify the hazards on a site or network, rate each one for likelihood and consequence, then recommend controls down the hierarchy of control so the decisions hold up later.
It's the difference on paper between a hunch and a defensible call. We've done this across council intersections through to worksite risk on North East Link, the West Gate Tunnel and the Level Crossing Removal Program, and the method doesn't change with the scale of the job.
We work to ISO 31000 principles and the AGTTM risk process for worksites. Set the context first, then identify hazards, rate them against a defined matrix, and apply controls in order before recording what risk is left over.
The framework follows the documents Victorian authorities actually use. AGTTM for temporary works, Austroads guidance and DTP processes for permanent treatments, and ISO 31000 underneath it all. Prepared by accredited people, so the method and the names on it both survive review.
A self-contained report a project team or council officer can act on without ringing us. Hazard register, ratings before and after treatment, and a prioritised list of buildable controls. For worksites we feed the findings straight into the SWMS and traffic management plans crews use on the day.
When works are high-risk or non-standard and the AGTTM and DTP standard layouts don't cover them, or when it's a condition of a DTP or council approval. In short, if a hazard can't be managed by simply applying a standard arrangement, you document it.
A single worksite or location is usually a few business days once we have the plans. Multi-stage or network jobs needing a site visit and crash-history review run one to two weeks.
Worksite risk needs a Traffic Management Designer; permanent network safety needs an accredited Road Safety Auditor. We hold TMD Cat 1, 2 and 3 and Road Safety Auditor accreditation, with 15+ years in Victoria behind it.
