Traffic Management Plan

Product Overview

This professionally developed Traffic Management Plan template provides a comprehensive, ready-to-use framework to manage vehicle and mobile plant risks on Australian worksites. Built specifically for high-risk environments such as civil construction, earthworks, arboriculture, concrete and formwork, plumbing and gasfitting, landscaping, building and construction, and fencing operations, it helps you control interactions between vehicles, plant, workers and the public.

The document is written by Australian work health and safety specialists and aligned with WHS legislation, codes of practice and industry best practice. It is designed to integrate easily into your existing safety documentation and site procedures, saving you time while strengthening WHS compliance.

Key Features

  • Clear structure covering purpose, scope, responsibilities, hazard identification, risk assessment and control measures.
  • Detailed guidance on planning site access, internal traffic routes, pedestrian management and exclusion zones.
  • Specific controls for mobile plant, deliveries, loading/unloading, reversing and blind spots.
  • Public interface considerations for works near roads, footpaths, parks and residential areas.
  • Inspection checklists and appendix templates for traffic risk assessment and daily monitoring.
  • Applicable across multiple trades and project types, including roadworks, subdivisions, tree removal, concrete pours, trenching and landscaping works.
