NOTE: Barricading and signage requirements are detailed within each section.

Planning

The project management team must determine the requirements for barricading and signage (type, location etc.) during the planning stages and throughout project delivery.

Signage must be in accordance with applicable SWMS, regulatory requirements, Australian Standards and Codes of Practice.

Signage and barricading for the protection of their work and work areas must be provided.

Operational

Signs erected on MPX sites must be clear and effectively communicate the nature of any potential or actual hazard or the requirement to which they refer.

Barricading erected on MPX projects must comply with standards specified in table 1

• Barricading must be maintained as needed for the duration of its establishment
• Barricading must be erected to withstand prevailing conditions

Signage erected on MPX sites must comply with the standards specified in table 1

• Signage must be maintained for the duration of its display

Where barricading or signage becomes redundant, it must be removed and stored for future use (where applicable).

Site inspections (visual) must include verification of signage & barricading is being maintained and correctly located.

Barricading and signage must be installed and maintained by MPX and/or subcontractors to protect their work, work areas and to isolate potential hazards from others.

Where windrows are used, they are required to be constructed to at least half the diameter of the largest vehicle (or mobile plant) tyre that regularly uses any vehicle access routes on the project. Windrows should be maintained and allow for sufficient drainage.
