We’ve undertaken Safe System Assessments on a variety of motorways across Australia. As part of getting our head around the risks, we looked in depth at past crashes, incidents and especially the video footage from control centres. We were surprised by the amount of debris falling from vehicles, and one of the more common things to find its way onto the roadway were ladders.
Many motorways across the world are being fitted with automatic incident detection systems, and have Lane Use Management Systems and electronic warning signs which significantly reduces the risk of crashes from objects on the roadway. There are also some great education programs underway to assist people in, amongst other things, load restrain – including ladders. Check out the Work Smart Drive Smart Program
