A short walk around site to show you all the traffic management that's been put in place down in Somerset on the Minors Arms project. At AKN Engineering, we understand the vital role that traffic management plays in ensuring the safety of everyone on site. Knowing the logistics of traffic control is key to protecting our team and the general public and keeping projects running smoothly. As a site engineering company working with main contractors, it's crucial for us to stay informed about all health and safety measures, including traffic management, to ensure safe working environments.

Road Safety Audits are becoming the ‘norm’ for all sorts of projects these days and can often be required at multiple stages of design including once the project has been constructed. Regardless of the size of the project, if it’s a new subdivision or a revamp of an intersection or road corridor, things can get confusing fast. Here at CKL we have an experienced team (like our senior transportation engineer based in Hamilton, Mike Clapp, who is pictured just after completing a road safety audit) that can help you to understand the new Safe System requirements, offer advice and recommendations regardless of project size, complexity or location. If you have a project that you need, or think you might need, a road safety audit for, why not contact us and find out. #roadsafety #SafeSystemRequirements

From the beautiful memories file 😎 #Orascom_Construction 🏗 Crescent Towers Project - New Administrative Capital 🏡 What is the importance of the safety Campaigns? Safety Campaigns focuses on clear communication techniques, ensuring that information reaches all individuals involved and facilitating a coordinated response. Identify weaknesses: Safety Campaigns & drills are also valuable opportunities to identify weaknesses in emergency plans. And in the safety of operations on site .

Is this an emergency situation? What a valuable insight from nahcoaviance Senior Manager, Ground Support Equipment Maintenance - Mr. Karinga Charles His perspective on emergency situations in ground handling resonates deeply: "Emergency doesn't really exist; rather, a situation where people do not envision and prepare for is what is mostly regarded as an emergency situation in ground handling." This statement highlights the importance of: 1. Proactive planning 2. Risk assessment 3. Contingency preparation 4. Effective communication 5. Continuous training and drills By anticipating potential scenarios and developing strategies to mitigate them, ground handling teams can minimize the likelihood of unexpected events escalating into full-blown emergencies. Key takeaways: 🍭 Emergency preparedness is crucial. 🍭 Situation awareness and foresight are essential. 🍭Effective communication ensures seamless response. 🍭Training and drills enhance team readiness. 🍭 Proactive maintenance prevents equipment failure.

Road Safety Audits (RSA's) are a critical element in any road infrastructure project. Their main purpose is to reduce the number of fatal and serious injuries (FSI) through assessing a road’s safety performance and identifying hazards or crash potential. They can, and should, be implemented in all phases of a project lifecycle. But did you know that each audit will have different objectives, depending on the phase of the project? These include: ✏️ Feasibility ✏️ Preliminary Design ✏️ Detailed Design ✏️ Pre-opening ✏️ Immediate post-opening ✏️ Existing road Although these are typical design phases where an RSA can be undertaken, additional interim RSA's can be undertaken at any point in a project (this is particularly useful for large scale and longer term projects).

Just set up and about to deliver a 2 day Safety Critical Communications (SCC) workshop to some colleagues and contractors who work within our Region. It is vitally important to practice calls and look at ourselves when we have to conduct any SCC within the railway industry. Complancy and over familiarity can affect how we communicate and can lead to incidents when we do not follow the process and procedures. #Walesandwestern #Networkrail

💡Publication Alert! 📣 I am thrilled to share that the second chapter of my MPhil studies entitled “Towards safer tower crane operations: An innovative knowledge-based decision support system for automated safety risk assessment” has been published in the Journal of Safety Research! 📚✨ Tower cranes are an essential component of construction projects but come with significant hazards to the workforce. To tackle these safety concerns, we developed a Knowledge-Based Decision-Support System for Safety Risk Assessment (KBDSS-SRA). This innovative system is designed to thoroughly evaluate associated risks in various construction endeavours. The KBDSS-SRA achieves several critical goals: 1. Compiling essential risk factors specific to tower crane operations. 2. Identifying and assessing critical safety risks that jeopardise worker well-being. 3. Automating the labour-intensive and error-prone processes of safety risk assessment. By doing so, the system assists safety management personnel in formulating well-grounded decisions and implementing effective measures to enhance the safety of tower crane operations. This advanced computerised tool underscores the paramount significance of safety risks and suggests strategies for their future mitigation, making construction sites safer for everyone involved. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to improving safety in construction projects and look forward to continuing this important work. Thank you to everyone who supported and collaborated with me on this journey!
