Typical managing mobile plant scenarios on Ellon Industrial Estate sites

  1. Scenario 1

    Designing a one-way site traffic plan with separate gates for plant and pedestrians

  2. Scenario 2

    Verifying operator competence on a sub-contract crew you've never used

  3. Scenario 3

    Plant-on-pedestrian near-miss: investigation, lessons, and traffic-plan rework

Audit findings this prevents

  • Traffic plan drawn at tender stage and never updated as the site phases changed
  • Competence assumed from a card — never physically observed on your machine
  • No incident-investigation template, so the same near-miss happens at every project

Why this matters

~25%

of UK construction fatalities involve mobile plant striking a pedestrian.
