Traffic Engineering is not normally part of the wide range of skills that mining professionals gain through formal and informal education in their careers. Yet, single vehicle, vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-pedestrian interactions continue to be one of the most critical risk management areas for mining or resources operations across the world.

RTSM Consulting has a wide breadth of experience and expertise in this field and offers a specialised Traffic Management and Safety on Mines technical training course. The training package can be tailored to specific requirements and can be delivered in-house, as it was the case with the recent delivery of the training to Merdeka Copper Gold staff in Indonesia.

Some of the topics covered in the training include:

• Traffic management systems, including risk management concepts in the traffic management context
• Operational requirements (speed management, communication, change management, …)
• Roadside furniture (signs, delineation, barriers)
• Mining roads (design and safety)
• Mining road intersections
• Parking areas
• Management of pedestrian movements.
