Risk-based approach
  • Waka Kotahi is developing a new guide with a simpler risk-based approach and set of guidelines, to encourage a new way of thinking and responding to how we keep everyone safe on our roads.
  • Waka Kotahi is committed to ensure all road workers and road users go home safe every day.
  • This requires everyone involved in road worker safety to be accountable to identify and manage risk to all road workers and road users.
  • To reduce the chances of harm, temporary traffic management on worksites needs to shift from being hazard-based to risk-based to ensure the safety of road workers and road users is never compromised.
  • The key change is providing more flexibility to focus on managing safety risks while ensuring decision making and accountability become clearer so that it aligns with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA).
  • The NZGTTM will replace the Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM).
