When it comes to managing traffic at construction sites, roadworks, or public events, safety is not just a priority—it’s a legal requirement. SafeWork regulations set the benchmark for how traffic control activities must be carried out to ensure the protection of workers, drivers, and pedestrians. At RAC Traffic Control, we strictly adhere to these regulations, ensuring our services are safe, compliant, and professionally executed.

What Are SafeWork Regulations?
SafeWork NSW is the government authority that oversees workplace health and safety (WHS) standards in New South Wales. SafeWork regulations refer to the legal guidelines and requirements that must be followed to create and maintain a safe working environment. In the context of traffic control, these rules govern everything from the qualifications of workers to the setup of work zones, the use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), and risk management procedures.

For companies like RAC Traffic Control, understanding and implementing SafeWork regulations is fundamental to how we operate on every job site.

Key SafeWork Requirements in Traffic Control
At RAC Traffic Control, our procedures are built around the core elements of SafeWork compliance, including:

• Traffic Management Plans (TMPs): These are essential for any work site impacting roads or public access areas. TMPs must be designed according to SafeWork guidelines to manage traffic safely and reduce risks.
• Worker Certification: All traffic controllers and site supervisors must complete accredited training courses approved by SafeWork NSW to perform their duties legally and safely.
• Risk Assessments: Before starting work, we conduct comprehensive risk assessments to identify hazards and implement control measures in line with SafeWork standards.
• Proper Signage and Equipment: SafeWork regulations require the use of approved traffic signs, barriers, cones, and other equipment to clearly guide vehicles and pedestrians.
• Use of PPE: Our team is always equipped with high-visibility clothing, helmets, gloves, and other safety gear as mandated by SafeWork NSW.

Why SafeWork Compliance Matters
Non-compliance with SafeWork regulations can lead to serious consequences, including fines, legal action, injuries, or project delays. For businesses engaging in construction or infrastructure work, hiring a fully compliant traffic control provider like RAC Traffic Control ensures peace of mind.

By following SafeWork regulations, we not only meet legal obligations but also foster a culture of safety that protects everyone on and around the work site.
