6 Page: 6 of 39 Introduction The safe operation of vehicles, plant and equipment at Southern Ports Authority Port of Esperance (SPA PoE) is to be achieved by compliance with this Traffic Management Plan and its associated subordinate documents. This plan defines the classification for each type of road and sets specific minimum requirements for vehicle, plant, equipment operation and competence for drivers and operators. Purpose The purpose of this Plan is to clearly define the rules for Traffic Management and to ensure the safe interaction of Mobile Equipment and Light Vehicles at the PoE. This Plan is to ensure all vehicles used or driven at the PoE are properly maintained and driven safely so as to prevent injury, damage to personnel, equipment or third parties and to ensure compliance with SPA PoE Policies, Standards and Procedures etc. Definitions and Abbreviations The following definitions and abbreviations are used throughout this Plan: Term / Abbreviation Earthmoving Equipment Heavy Vehicles Infrastructure Road Light Vehicle (LV s) Definition Any machine defined in AS 2868 Classification of Machinery for Earthmoving, Construction, Surface Mining and Agricultural Purposes. Any vehicles other than light vehicles. This includes Surface Mobile Equipment (SME), Mining Fleet, Road Haulage, Freight and Delivery Trucks. A formed road other than a heavy vehicle route. A light vehicle is a motor vehicle which: Can be registered for use on a public road; Has four or more wheels; Seats a maximum of 12 adults (including the driver); Is a vehicle that, where registered, could be legally driven on a public roadway by a driver issued with a standard basic level - public road drivers licence; and Does not exceed 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass (GVM), which is the maximum loaded mass of the motor vehicle. Light vehicles may include the following categories of vehicles being used for work related activity: Owned or Leased vehicles; Hire Vehicles; Contractor or Supplier vehicles operating on company property; and Private vehicles used for work related activity. The requirements of this Plan do not apply in the following situations: Private, contractor or supplier light vehicles being driven on site to the

7 Page: 7 of 39 Live Rail Working Mobile Equipment Operational Fleet Personnel PoE Rail Corridor Rail Crossing Road Haulage, Freight and Delivery Trucks Shall Should SPA PoE employee or visitor car park area; Private vehicles being used on an occasional basis to undertake a low risk work related trip, where approved by the relevant manager or supervisor; A contractor or supplier vehicle driving on site to collect or drop off a passenger or cargo on an infrequent basis and not interacting with the site operation or other plant and equipment (e.g.: warehouse deliveries). Working within the defined Rail Corridor, except when using a dedicated Rail Crossing. All wheel or track mounted equipment that is free to move about other than light vehicles. Construction and Mining equipment including excavators, loaders, dump trucks, dozers, graders, rollers, water carts, fuel trucks, forklifts, cranes and elevated work platforms. Mobile Equipment used generally for operational work including trucks and trains. An individual carrying out work on the SPA PoE site or SPA PoE managed infrastructure (including public access gardens and houses/buildings) and includes: SPA PoE Employees and contract workers. Contractor Personnel Sub-contractor personnel Port of Esperance The line of the laid rail within the PoE defined by a distance of 3 metres from the outside of the outer rail, or where a physical barrier, fence or visual delineator indicates the rail corridor. Working within the Rail Corridor is not permitted without a Permit to Work. A dedicated location, which is used by vehicles or pedestrians to cross the Rail Corridor. Some Rail Crossings will only be available to Pedestrians. Vehicles used to move materials to, and around, the site (other than mining and earthworks activities). This includes fuel tankers, low-loaders, trucks moving containerised freight and other types of delivery equipment. The mandatory requirements of this Plan are signified by the use of the word shall. The word should indicates that the primary intent is to comply with the full requirements as if they were mandatory. However, there will be circumstances where local conditions may demonstrate that the requirement is either not applicable or an alternative approach is necessary. In cases where should has been used in a requirement, variation can only be considered as compliance if the most Senior Manager of the area approves it based on an evaluation of the risk. The risk management approach adopted must be consistent with the PoE Hazard and Risk Management Standard and follow the Hierarchy of Controls. Southern Ports Authority - Port of Esperance

Roads This section covers the following: General requirements; Road maintenance and monitoring; Haul routes or roads; and Infrastructure roads. Heavy Vehicle Routes Heavy vehicle routes are those associated with the greatest risk and generally are the main arterial haulage corridors within the PoE operational areas. These routes exhibit the whole range of vehicle interaction but, principally, involve operating heavy vehicles and mobile equipment and material haulage either by road or rail. Infrastructure Roads Infrastructure roads link buildings such as the offices and other places of work. They are designed mainly for use by light vehicles to get around site and limit interaction with other operational equipment. Pavements and Pedestrian Routes Pavements and pedestrian routes, provide a route for personnel between various locations at the Port, they are physically marked and provide a means of minimising interaction with other traffic at the PoE. Where practicable these routes are physically delineated and where heavy vehicle interaction is possible, protected by use of a physical barrier. New Roads or Pavements Subject to availability of capital funding, new or redesigned roads or pavements shall meet the following requirements: The road and pavement surfaces will be made from material that; o Will not become slippery when wet; o Minimises the generation of dust; and They will be free draining. They will be provided with: Edges that are clearly marked and visible at all times; and Curves of sufficient radius to allow drivers and operators sufficient vision equal to the stopping distance of the vehicle.

10 Page: 10 of 39 Road design should minimise as far as practicable risks associated with loss of control of a vehicle. Factors to consider include: Ability to leave the road without excessive risk, or Being prevented from leaving the road by barriers designed for the largest vehicle operating on the road. Infrastructure and Road Design The design of any new infrastructure road will consider the interaction of heavy and light vehicles. Where any new infrastructure road intersects a haul road the intersection will where practicable be: At right angles; and Provided with stop signs on the infrastructure road. Intersections of infrastructure roads should where feasible be: At right angles; and Illuminated at night. There should be segregation of pedestrians, light vehicles and heavy equipment. This may be in the form of but does not limit to: Designated walkways for pedestrians with safety railings to eliminate interaction with vehicle movements; and Designated separate parking areas for both light vehicles and heavy equipment Road Maintenance All roads shall be regularly maintained as identified via HAZOB, or Risk Management or Condition Assessment process to: Ensure compliance with the design criteria; Ensure the surface remains free draining; Minimise the creation of airborne dust; Maintain the surface adhesion properties; and Be clear of hazards. Road maintenance activities shall be carried out in accordance with the following conditions: All personnel on foot in the road work area are required to wear a reflective vest or high visibility clothing, safety boots, safety glasses and any other relevant PPE, in accordance with the PoE PPE Standard; All mobile equipment being used for road works must have flashing amber lights; Where personnel are working on foot in the road maintenance area, the speed limit is to be reduced to 10 km/h and the length of section to be maintained at one time must not exceed 0.5km; Where traffic flow is restricted to single lane then traffic lights or appropriately trained traffic controllers will control the traffic flow; All roadwork areas must have signs on the approach to the works, indicating road work in progress, and the appropriate speed limit signs; All roadwork areas must have signs at the end indicating end of road work, and end of roadwork speed limit; All roadwork signs must comply with AS/NZS 1742 and AS/NZS 743. The signs are to be placed so they are clearly visible, maintained and regularly cleaned to ensure continued compliance with relevant standards; and

11 Page: 11 of 39 All roadwork signs must be removed on completion of road works. Where signs are required to be left over night, flashing hazard lights should be left to indicate the hazards. Road Closure Modifying speed limits or closing roads due to changed traffic conditions is the responsibility of the General Manager of Operations (Mine Manager), who may delegate authority to Port Engineer, Maintenance Manager or Port Services Manager. Speed limit changes or road closures, shall be made in accordance to the following criteria: Consultation with affected parties; A review of alternative traffic routes and the selection of a preferred route that takes into account the requirements of affected parties; For complete road closure, the use of standardised signage clearly marking alternative routes (detours etc.) erected either end of the road closure and elsewhere as required to clearly identify the alternative route; For partial road closure, the use of standardised signage, traffic cones, and/or flashing lamps clearly defining the hazard or obstruction erected either end of the hazard; and Notification of the road operational changes via , in particular the security gatehouse, and via radio where possible, if relevant. Monitoring All sealed and unsealed roads covered by this TMP shall be kept free of loose material. If loose material is deposited on sealed road surfaces warning signs are to be provided and the road surface cleaned of material in a suitable time frame. In order to maintain the road network in a safe condition, regular maintenance and inspections of roads and pedestrian areas are to be undertaken as part of work place inspections. The INX system should record the condition of routes, noting any works that are required, including: Replacement of sub-standard signage and delineation posts; The need for washing of signs, delineation posts and pavement markings; Repair of potholes, washouts and other road maintenance tasks; Repair or installation of bunding; Repainting of faded pavement markings; Trimming of vegetation adjacent to roads and pedestrian walkways; Repairing and replacing guide posts; Repair of faulty lighting; The system is to record the provision and subsequent removal of temporary signage provided in emergencies and is also to include a reporting system for recording and actioning details of damage that occur between inspections. The road management system is to be used for determining the extent and programming of maintenance works to be carried out on roads and pedestrian walkways. This responsibility falls to each manager as outlined in the areas of responsibility map with the exception of specialist services such as lighting.

12 Page: 12 of 39 Rail Corridor This section covers the following: General requirements; Marking and signage along the rail corridor; Heavy Vehicles crossing the rail; Light Vehicles crossing the rail; and Pedestrians crossing the rail. General Requirements The rail corridor within the PoE presents a potential high risk interaction for all traffic types, due to confines of the Port, the numerous rail crossings, the length of the train and trucks, the ambient noise levels and the long run of wagons which are automatically indexed from the Rotary Car Dumper. All vehicles and pedestrians shall give way to train movements along the rail corridor; the only exception is when an emergency situation exists. Working within the defined rail corridor is high risk and is only permitted when a Permit to Work has been issued and the controls indicated within the Permit have been applied. Marking and signage along the rail corridor Where processing of train loads are required then the rail corridor shall be physically separated by fixed barriers and guardrails to prevent pedestrian interaction with the rail trucks, fixed barriers shall be securely fixed a distance of no less than 3m from the outer edge of the rail track. Where there is an operational requirement to work within the Rail Corridor whilst the rail is live (i.e. train movement is occurring, such as the RCD) and this is not rail track or rail corridor maintenance then the area of operations shall be detailed within an area Standard or Procedure. Fixed signage shall be displayed in accordance with AS/NZ 1742 Part 3, as the rail crossing points to indicate that a live rail track exists and trains movement will occur without warning. Heavy Vehicles crossing the rail Heavy vehicles will only cross at designated Heavy Vehicle crossing points along the rail corridor. All vehicles are required to stop at the indicated Stop sign and marked line, this is for sighting purposes and prevent intrusion into the rail corridor where contact could be made with a train. No vehicle shall cross the rail corridor without first having stopped and checked for train movement. Where a train is moving the Heavy Vehicle can only continue to cross the rail corridor if the train is moving away from the crossing point or the nearest truck is greater than 10m away from the crossing. Where the train is closer than 10m away, the Heavy Vehicle is to either wait until the rail crossing is clear or utilise another Heavy Vehicle rail crossing further along the rail corridor. Light Vehicles crossing the rail Light vehicles will only cross at designated crossing points along the rail corridor. All vehicles are required to stop at the indicated Stop sign and marked line, this is for sighting purposes and prevent intrusion into the rail corridor where contact could be made with a train.

13 Page: 13 of 39 Light vehicles shall not cross the rail corridor without first having stopped and checked for train movement. Where a train is moving the Light Vehicle can only continue to cross the rail corridor if the train is moving away from the crossing point or the nearest truck is greater than 10m away from the crossing. Where the train / truck is closer than 10m away the Light Vehicle is to either wait until the rail crossing is clear or utilise another rail crossing further along the rail corridor. Pedestrians crossing the rail Pedestrians will only cross at designated crossing points indicated for Pedestrians along the rail corridor. All pedestrians are required to stop at the indicated Stop sign and marked line and check for train movements. Pedestrians shall not cross the rail corridor without first having stopped and checked for train movement. Where a train is moving the Pedestrian can only continue to cross the rail corridor if the train is moving away from the crossing point or the nearest truck is greater than 30m away from the crossing. Where the train / truck is closer than 30m away the Pedestrian is to either wait until the rail crossing is clear or utilise another pedestrian designated rail crossing further along the rail corridor. Site Access Requirements Security Gatehouse All personnel accessing the PoE shall have an access card issued by the Security Department and where applicable an MSIC card to access landside and waterside restricted zones. Vehicle Standard All vehicles entering the PoE shall meet the West Australian road worthiness requirements. Driver Competency All personnel entering the PoE shall hold a current Australian Driver s license that aligns with the vehicle that they will be operating onsite. Traffic Control Devices Signage and Reflectors All signs and reflectors should be made of highly reflective material. An example of the high reflectivity material to be used on the mine site is 3M s or similar. The usage of nonstandard signage should be minimised and restricted to applications where a message cannot be conveyed appropriately through standard signs. Standard Signs All standard signs should be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 1742 Part 2 Traffic Control Devices for General Use (Section 2.8). Some of these signs are:

14 Page: 14 of 39 Reflectors All haul roads in the PoE site shall have clean and effective reflectors in place. These reflectors should be placed at: Approximate intervals of 50 metres on flat haul routes and 30 metres on curves and corners of haul roads. 1.5 metres to 2.0 metres height (vertical or at an acute angle). 0.5 metres to 1.0 metre from road verge. Termination Boards Reflective bidirectional hazard markers (6000 mm x 600 mm) shall be installed behind the terminating leg of T- junctions in accordance with AS/NZS 1742 Part 2 (section ). Ideally, sign type D4-4 should be used. Alternatively, two unidirectional hazard markers can be erected end to end to simulate a bidirectional hazard marker. Chevrons All corners and intersections shall have clean and effective chevron boards (unidirectional hazard markers) in place. On longer corners multiple chevron boards may be required.

15 Page: 15 of 39 Guide Posts Guideposts are used to mark the edge of the road formation, and assist the road user by indicating the alignment of the road ahead, especially at horizontal and vertical curves on major haul roads. The delineators on the guideposts provide a coherent pattern of delineation of the edges of the road as an aid to night driving. Guideposts should be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 1742 Part 2 Traffic Control Devices for General Use (section 3.2.4). Guide posts should be spaced at 150m intervals on straight, flat sections of road, with posts in pairs, one each side of the road. On curves, the spacing is reduced as indicated in table 3.1 in AS/NZS White delineators should be used on the right hand side of the carriageway and red on the left hand side approximately 1.5 metres from the trafficable roadway. Colour Placement Reflectors shall be placed on the left hand side of the haul route and on the right hand side of the haul route. Road dividers shall have white reflectors at either end except where a chevron or Keep Left sign can be substituted. Supports Stakes 38mm x 38mm square and approximately 1.5 meters high should be used for mounting reflectors. Signs should be posted on concrete based poles where applicable. Flashing Lights Flashing lights are used to define hazards on the PoE. Flashing lights shall be used on any hazards on haul routes, e.g. Broken down equipment. These flashing lights can also be used in defining a haul route or used for roadblocks with signage. They shall only be placed on left kerbs or edges as a temporary measure until signs can be erected. Cleaning and Maintenance All reflectors, flashing lights and signs shall be kept in clean and effective working order. All damaged and worn out signage is to be replaced as soon as possible. Signage that is obsolete or no longer required is to be removed. Signs and reflectors are to be removed and stacked aside prior to commencing road works and are to be replaced on completion of road works. Clean-up machines are not to push material into kerbs or edges where signs and reflectors may be damaged. Restricted Access Signs Permission to enter the area beyond either of the following sign types shall only be by authorisation of the General Manager of Operations (Mine Manager) or Delegate. No Entry signs are used at various locations on the PoE when there is a requirement to restrict traffic through an area e.g. Cable work, working plant and falling debris, etc. Restricted Area signs are used at the entrance to land side restricted areas or for shutdown purposes.

16 Page: 16 of 39 Sight Distance The operator of mobile equipment has limited visibility close to the vehicle due to the size and configuration of the vehicle. In some vehicles the seated position is almost 5 metres above ground level and vision to the rear of the vehicle is limited to the rear vision mirrors. Sight distance requirements are different for light and heavy vehicles and road surface, i.e. they vary according to driver eye heights and longitudinal friction factors. Roadside objects such as guideposts, bollards, bunding, structures, and vegetation should not obstruct sight distance. Clear Zone The clear zone is the horizontal width of space available for the safe use of errant vehicles, which consists of the shoulder and verge area and is measured from the edge of the traffic lane. The desirable width is dependent on traffic volumes, speeds and geometry of the road. A minimum clear zone width of 3 metres is considered desirable. Where a clear zone is provided, it should be free from roadside hazards to provide an area for recovery for errant vehicles that leave the roadway. Where this cannot be achieved, hazards should be protected using safety barriers or marked using signing such as safety cones / triangles. Bollards and other roadside hazards are to be removed if no longer required or painted with bright contrasting colours and provided with reflectors or reflective tape. Retro-reflective markers or other approved method to separate installations should be installed on the outside edge of concrete footings and structural elements within 1.5 metres of the nearside edge of the left hand traffic lane on the main traffic circulation road system in accordance with AS/NZS 1742 Part 2 Traffic Control Devices for General Use (Section 3.2.5). Temporary Traffic Management Temporary traffic management controls shall be implemented when there are major road works, emergency situations, weather conditions affecting the safety of pedestrians or other road users. Road closures shall have suitable signage relating to the task or condition in either the form of Road Closed signs, bunding or reflective barriers. Consideration should be given to extended road closure during hours of darkness with the use of flashing lights or beacons. Figure Road Closed sign Detours may be required when road closures are implemented. These are to be signed by appropriate Detour as shown in figure below. Figure Detour signs

17 Page: 17 of 39 When work is being undertaken close to or at the edge of trafficked roads, such as on the main road, appropriate temporary retro-reflective advance warning signs such as the Traffic Hazard Ahead sign to type T1-10 shown in figure below is to be provided and road narrowing indicated by means of traffic cones give way signs. Figure Traffic Hazard Ahead sign Vehicles parked at night on the side of the road, causing the roadway to be obstructed, are to have their parking lights switched on, hazard lights engaged, beacon flashing and safety triangles placed around the area. The Terminal Supervisor shall be notified immediately by radio to advise the hazard for communication to the work areas. Specific area Traffic Management Plans are to be developed and used at times of shutdowns when large numbers of contractors access the site, to minimise the hazards associated with pedestrians, access points and the railway level crossings. Intersections Intersections shall be: Provided with signs that give directions for right of way to vehicle operators; and Provided with clear vision for all classes of vehicles, where practicable Power Lines Power lines over roads shall be eliminated where possible. Where power lines cross a road they will cross under the road where practicable. Where power lines cross over a road the following will apply: The power lines are raised on poles to a height, which complies with the distance to ground required by the Energy Networks Association of Australia given in Column 2 and Column 3 of the Table below. NOTE. This height cannot be reduced by changes to ground level or the addition of any structures or material under the line. This precludes the use of line zones as lay-down areas. They are clearly sign-posted and the clearance to ground stated, Vehicles and machinery shall observe the minimum safe working clearances required by AS/NZS given in Column 4 of the Table below, Elevated work platforms shall observe the minimum safe working clearances required by AS/NZS , and Where the clearances required cannot be achieved, a Clearance Certificate obtained. Note: The clearances will be determined with any working implement in the fully raised position. The air space above power lines is a no go zone.

Where the infrastructure heights do not meet the above minimum requirements a goal post / chainage system is to be implemented to each side of the overhead hazard, with appropriate signage to alerts drivers / operators of low clearance heights. Lighting Car parks should have a minimum level of lighting as specified for open-air car parks in AS/NZS : Road lighting - Pedestrian area (Category P) lighting Performance and installation design requirements. Pedestrian lighting should be provided on key routes as determined by a risk-based assessment. If a pedestrian crossing is installed, adequate lighting should be considered dependent on pedestrians accessing these areas in the hours of darkness. Other means of lighting may be provided in temporary or emergency situations. Line Marking on Sealed Roads Centreline and edge lines and associated raised retro-reflective pavement markers (or equivalent) are to be installed on sealed roads in accordance with AS/NZS 1742 Part 2 Traffic Control Devices for General Use (Sections 4.3 and 4.6) should be considered in all PoE areas where appropriate. All roadways opened to general public should be road marked to Australian Standards. Where straight section of roads exists a broken separation line can be used where the spacing N is 24 metres. Figure line marking

19 Page: 19 of 39 Configuration of painted centreline markings and non-reflective raised pavement markers for a broken separation line. For centreline marking on vertical and horizontal curves, where forward visibility is less than 120 m, a barrier line (solid unbroken single line) is to be used where the spacing N is 12 m. Figure line marking Configuration of painted centreline markings and non-reflective raised pavement markers for a barrier line. Edge lines should be used where it is necessary to minimise the risk of vehicles leaving the road because of severe consequences. Where edge line marking is to be installed, the markings should be on both sides of the road 75 mm to 300 mm from the edge of the pavement. Note: Edge line pavement marking should not be used on pavement widths less than 6.8 metres. Edge lines are continuous painted lines preferably 120 mm thick. Where junctions occur the lines should be either discontinued or where a junction has a stop sign or give way sign control the lines should be marked in accordance with the respective pavement markings. Vehicle Classifications Mobile Machinery Classifications A comprehensive list of all mobile machinery including light vehicles at the PoE is to be maintained by the appropriate maintenance workshops. Company mobile equipment and machinery records will be kept by the vehicle maintenance department; Contractor mobile equipment and machinery records (where maintained and serviced by the contractor) will be kept by the contractor, however these must be available for inspection on request; and The maintenance department will keep the initial inspection, by the appointed site official(s), for the mobile machine site clearance. o Prime Movers o Water trucks o Service truck o Graders o Front End Loaders o Forklifts o Skid Steers o Cranes o Elevated Work Platforms o Light vehicles

20 Page: 20 of 39 Light Vehicles (LVs) This traffic management plan applies to all light vehicles that can be road registered and are used for the transportation of personnel and light loads. Cars; 4WD; Buses; and People carriers (under 14 seater). Explosive and Fuel Transportation Vehicles used to transport explosives or fuel shall conform to the requirements of the MSIR 8.14 and Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail Regulations Parking and Standing of Vehicles General Requirements A driver or operator shall park or stand mobile equipment in a manner that does not pose a risk to persons, facilities or equipment. Mobile equipment shall be separated into parking areas for both heavy vehicles and light vehicles. Where vehicles are parked with the PoE operational areas (including the Admin and Office areas) they shall be: Parallel parked where space is available; Reversed parked in a designated parking area, or Reversed parked in an area that is clear of pedestrian footpaths or vehicle access ways, and accessed via a vehicle crossover; Have the hand brake applied; and Engaged in first or reverse gear or P selected when automatic. Where practical, vehicles should be parked on level ground and clear of traffic flow and visible to other road users. Parking is not permitted on haulage routes or infrastructure roads, unless the road has been closed or the vehicle has broken down. Light Vehicles When leaving a light vehicle unattended, drivers shall observe the following requirements: The vehicle shall be placed in first or reverse gear (or P for automatic transmission vehicles), and the engine switched off; The park brake shall be applied before leaving the vehicle; Any flashing beacon shall be switched off before leaving the vehicle unless the vehicle is in a hazardous situation; and The vehicle shall be parked on a level surface and away from any traffic flows wherever possible Mobile Equipment When leaving Mobile Equipment unattended, drivers shall observe the following requirements: The equipment shall be parked on a level surface and away from any traffic flows wherever possible; The equipment shall be place in gear and the engine switched off; The park brake shall be applied before leaving the equipment and one or more of the following additional restraining methods shall be used: o Wheel chocks applied; or

Road Rules Riding on Equipment No mobile equipment is permitted to carry passengers unless authorised by the General Manager of Operations (Mine Manager) or their delegate. Exceptions are: Personnel undergoing training with a qualified trainer; Maintenance personnel for the purpose of road testing a vehicle; and Authorised personnel undertaking evaluation of road conditions. Passengers No more than the legal allowable number of people may ride in a vehicle. MSIR Section 13.3 (1) (c) states: Each responsible person at a mine must ensure that all motor vehicles used at a mine are equipped with Adequate seating for the driver and any passengers; Seat Belts The wearing of seat belts is compulsory in all mobile equipment where they have been fitted by the OEM. This includes vehicles owned and operated by contracting and sub-contracting persons. The driver of the light vehicle shall ensure all passengers are wearing their seatbelt before moving off. MSIR Section 4.16 states: A person must not, while occupying a seat position in a vehicle to which a seat belt has been fitted for that seat position, drive or travel in that vehicle at a mine unless the person is wearing that seat belt and the seat belt is properly adjusted and securely fastened. Note: Compensation may be negated for injuries received by occupants of vehicles if not wearing a seat belt. Any vehicles found not to have a seat belt must be reported to your immediate supervisor immediately. Mobile Phones The use of mobile phones is not permitted when operating or driving any mobile equipment. Mobile phones must not be used in light vehicles except where a hands free kit is used or you have pulled your vehicle over to the side of the road out of the way of all traffic in a safe location. Right of Way Right of Way rules exist at any uncontrolled intersection in the following order of importance (from most important to least important). Emergency vehicles (when flashing lights and sirens are operative) have right of way over all other vehicles;

22 Page: 22 of 39 Heavy vehicles have right of way over light vehicles except working ancillary equipment and emergency vehicles as stated above; No vehicle in reverse has right of way; and Light vehicles giving way to the right. All Traffic Signs (Stop, Give Way, etc.) Will override right of way rule. Traffic Flow Normal traffic flow, i.e. Driving on the left hand side of the road is observed on all roads except where signposted. All light vehicle drivers shall remain on the left hand side of the road approximately 1m 2m from the windrow or kerb unless overtaking is in process. Overtaking procedure shall be followed at all times. Separation Rules If a person on foot is intending to go within 80 metres of a digging unit (all dig units Hydraulic excavators or Front End Loaders) then they must call up the digging unit operator and let them know. If a person on foot intends to go within 50 metres of a digging or loading unit they must let the operator know (positive communication) and production equipment must stop. If they intend to go within 30 metres of the digging or loading unit the bucket must be on the ground. This applies to LV s, Graders and Loaders. Overtaking Moving Heavy Vehicles Overtaking 'moving' heavy vehicles is not permitted anywhere or anytime within the PoE, with the exception of: Working FEL s and excavators and ancillary equipment in transit or under escort (e.g. Front end loaders). In this case, positive radio communication between both drivers of the vehicles must be made, so both parties are aware that overtaking is going to occur; or Emergency vehicles (with flashing lights and sirens operative) have right of way over all vehicles. If an emergency vehicle must travel over an active heavy vehicle route, the Supervisor will ensure overtaking is not necessary by re-directing or parking-up the heavy equipment in question. Light Vehicles A driver of a light vehicle may overtake another light vehicle provided that particular care is exercised and the following precautions are taken. Radio contact is made with the other vehicle before attempting to overtake. If a response is not given, do not overtake. A driver shall not overtake another vehicle unless both vehicles are clear of any road intersection or junction. Broken Down Heavy Vehicles Overtaking broken down heavy vehicles is permitted and should be done at a maximum speed of 15kph. Note: Overtaking on the left hand side of moving vehicles or heavy equipment is not permitted, except where a road maintenance vehicle is in such a position on the road that normal right hand passage is obstructed and possibly unsafe. Positive radio communications between vehicles must be established.

23 Page: 23 of 39 Wet Weather Driving Caution must be taken when driving on roads affected by over watering by water carts or rain. You must adhere to the following precautions when driving under these conditions. Reduce speed; 4WD vehicles should engage four wheel drive ; Avoid any sudden applications of either brakes or steering or any sudden acceleration; particularly in twowheel drive vehicles; Extra care must be taken when driving on ramps and benches; and Distance between vehicles shall be increased in wet conditions. Remember, at all times DRIVE TO CONDITIONS. Reversing Note: A reversing vehicle has no right of way. This includes both heavy and light vehicles. Reversing is sometimes a necessary operation; however it can be dangerous due to restricted visibility and blind spots. This is particularly so with heavy vehicles. Horns are to be sounded three times to indicate that a machine or mobile equipment is about to reverse. Extreme care must be exercised and it is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the area into which he or she intends to reverse is clear. Besides normal loading operations reversing is to be avoided if a practical alternative exists. This is done by making a parallel approach or forward loop. Other than normal operations a spotter should be used. Distractions While Operating a Light Vehicle. At any time during the operation of a light vehicle, if the driver becomes distracted, then the driver shall immediately bring the light vehicle safely to a stop, and park in a safe location until the distraction is rectified. A distraction is anything that allows or warrants the light vehicle driver to take their vision off the road or breaks their concentration from operating the light vehicle safely. Clearance between Vehicles It is the responsibility of the driver to make sure that the vehicle has adequate clearance, particularly when reversing, passing or overtaking other vehicles and units, or passing and overtaking stationary equipment. Tailgating Tailgating is not permitted due to the EXTREME or HIGH risk of the following events: A tyre explosion; A sudden stop by leading vehicles; and The restricted vision of driver of the tailing vehicle and the increased likelihood of an accident due to the reduced time available to exercise avoidance manoeuvres in emergency situations. All vehicles shall keep a minimum of 50m away when following heavy equipment and a safe distance behind all other vehicles such that they can stop in the case of an emergency.

24 Page: 24 of 39 Overhanging Loads Loads which have an overhang in excess of one metre (1m) shall be clearly marked by a red flag. It is the driver s responsibility to ensure that loads are secured for travel of any distance. Overhanging loads, which normally require a flag, must also be equipped with a flashing road works light if being transported at night. A JHA / risk assessment is to be completed if the load is travelling into a highly trafficked area. Idling Except as detailed below, no light vehicle is to be left unattended and idling at any time. Unattended light vehicles must be: Turned off at the ignition; Left in 1 st gear or reverse; and Have the handbrake applied. Some types of heavy equipment must be left idling to fulfil their function while the operator leaves the cab to perform necessary tasks. This includes certain types of fuel and lube trucks with PTO pumping systems, Hiabs etc. In these instances specific instructions are included in the training and assessment material for that type of equipment and this exception ONLY applies to qualified persons operating that equipment in accordance with those instructions. Light Vehicles Entering PoE (operational areas) Light vehicles entering the PoE must be equipped with the following, which is to be in good working order, when they enter a designated high risk or restricted area : Orange flashing light; Red or orange flag and whip aerial; and Portable or fixed radio with access to the correct radio channels. Note: Two-way radios must be on at all times whilst in operational areas of the PoE and on the appropriate operations channel. Pedestrians All pedestrian walkways and roadway crossing points should be installed in accordance with the requirements of Austroads Guide to Traffic Engineering Practice Part 13 Pedestrians. Marked pedestrian zebra crossings should be installed in accordance with AS/NZS Manual for Uniform Traffic Control: Part 10 Pedestrian Control and Protection. Pavement markings should be white and consist of a series of longitudinal bars 600mm wide and generally not less than 3.5 metres long. The bars should be placed parallel to the centre of the road with gaps of approximately 600mm between bars. The pavement markings should be positioned at right angles to the road and may be angled by not more than 30 degrees where local circumstances require. The zebra crossing figure from the Australian Standard is provided in Pedestrian crossing pavement marking should be maintained and kept clean so they are clearly visible to all road users.

25 Page: 25 of 39 Safe pedestrian routes are to be clearly and consistently marked using appropriate non-standard signage such as a black pedestrian symbol on a white rectangular sign (see figure below), based on Shared Path sign (R8-2A in AS/NZS ), or a painted walking person symbol on a section of sealed footpath. Where necessary and practicable the pedestrian route is to be protected from the encroachment of vehicles. Pedestrians should be able to escape quickly from the safe pedestrian route in an emergency. Sign indicating route for pedestrians At locations where pedestrians cross the road without zebra crossing markings, the diamond shaped black on yellow Pedestrians sign (W6-1 in AS/NZS 1742) should be used. Speed Management The determination and setting of posted speed limits on public roads is governed by AS/NZS Speed Controls. Speed limits shall be capable of being practically and equitably enforced by use of speed zones of adequate length, by limiting speed limit changes and by clarity and frequency of sign posting. The speed limit shall not be so low that a significant number of drivers will ignore it. Speed limits shall not be applied specifically for the purpose of compensating for isolated geometric deficiencies. The speed limit onsite at the PoE is 30km/h for all vehicles but drivers must assess conditions on the day and decrease speed accordingly. Speed limit signs are to be erected on the left side of the carriageway and no other sign should be erected on any post carrying a speed limit sign. Any changes to speed limits at the PoE are to be communicated to affected personnel through a structured and approved change management process except in circumstances such as, bad weather where the speed limit may be set through consultation with the General Manager of Operations (Mine Manager) or authorised delegate. The surface condition of unsealed roads can change quickly due to rain, moisture from the air and the effect of traffic. Hence, a maximum safe speed at one particular time can soon constitute an unsafe speed if conditions deteriorate. Signage due to changed conditions will be signposted at the entrance gates. When speed limits are applied to unsealed roads, appropriate signage is to be installed to warn drivers of changing conditions. These signs should be installed at strategic points such as the start of sections of unsealed roads and at changes in speed limit.

26 Page: 26 of 39 Overtaking and Safe Following Distances It is a driver s responsibility to ensure that overtaking of another vehicle is only undertaken when permitted and safe to do so. Overtaking of vehicles shall be in accordance with the site traffic rules. Safe following distance varies with the condition and construction of a road surface, the types of vehicles being used and operating speed. It is generally accepted that a straightforward way for a light vehicle driver to determine the safe following distance is the three second rule. The safe following distance is that distance covered in three seconds whilst a vehicle is traveling at a particular speed. The three second rule applies only for alert drivers, driving vehicles in good mechanical condition, fitted with good tyres and driving on a good road surface in good traffic and weather conditions. The minimum safe following distance in the PoE operational areas is 50m. Overtaking Overtaking of heavy vehicles on haul routes is not permitted. Overtaking of road maintenance equipment on haul routes is not permitted unless radio communication is acknowledged or instructed by a traffic controller and it is safe to do so. Vehicles shall not overtake water trucks whilst they are spraying water. All other overtaking is allowed only when it is safe to do so and is allowed only on the right. Parking All vehicles are required to park rear to wheel stops and with the front of vehicle facing any oncoming traffic. Designated parking bays shall be provided in each area to accommodate the expected number of vehicles. Parking bays should be located so that approaching traffic is visible to drivers of emerging vehicles. Parking shall be only permitted in designated areas. Vehicles are not permitted to park across safe entry routes or any area where there is potential for interference with traffic flow. Exception to this may be in an emergency situation and appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be incorporated to reduce potential consequences in this situation. Parking areas shall not be used as lay down or storage areas. Where there is risk of vehicles hitting objects behind their backs, wheel stops should be installed. The layout of parking bays should be in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2890 taking into consideration the need to accommodate larger vehicles such as the larger four wheel drives. Parking areas that are superfluous or no longer used are to be closed off. In static parking environments and Heavy Vehicle or Mobile Equipment parking areas signage should be used to indicate equipment suitability e.g. Heavy Vehicle or Mobile Equipment parking; Light Vehicle - reverse parking, etc. Parking Light Vehicles in the PoE Operational Areas The following rule applies when parking light vehicles in the PoE operational areas: Do not park behind or in front of a Heavy Vehicle at any time (exception as per maintenance breakdown crew procedure).

27 Page: 27 of 39 Unattended Light Vehicle Parking A light vehicle shall not be parked unattended with the engine running unless it is chocked or rear end into a bund, (an unattended vehicle is defined as a vehicle that does not have a competent person occupying the driver s seat such that the person has full control of the vehicle). A light vehicle shall be parked with two points of security / braking - engine off, in gear with park brake engaged or chocked with park brake engaged. Any light vehicle fitted with turbo timers shall be chocked before being left unattended. Light Vehicle Parking Parked light vehicles shall have the engine turned off, the park brake engaged and 1st or reverse gear selected. If parking in any operational area, light vehicles shall be parked a safe distance from the base of a wall or edge of a bench with the front wheels turned towards a windrow where possible. A designated light vehicle parking area shall be established adjacent to all offices. This area shall be clear of all hazards and shall be delineated with reflective bollards and / or road marking. No light vehicle should be parked outside these areas. Communications Channel Department Use 1 Iron Ore All Radios Emergency Plant.

This is achieved by following these rules: 1. Know what you want to say; 2. Pick up the hand piece; 3. Listen to make sure airways are clear, don t talk over people; 4. Press the button on the hand piece and wait for 3 seconds before you start speaking; 5. Release the button and wait for your answer; and 6. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 to reply. Note: When using the radio, a standard radio protocol must be used. This means that you call the person or machine you are calling first then your call sign. I.e. Excavator 5, XX Superintendent means the Superintendent is

28 Page: 28 of 39 trying to communicate with the operator of Excavator 5. If you are ever unsure of a reply, get the person to repeat until you do understand. Do's and Don'ts of Radio Usage DO hang the hand piece on the bracket provided when not in use; DO NOT swear on the radio; DO NOT use the radio for idle chatter; DO NOT use the radio during an emergency, unless you are involved; DO NOT operate the radio when someone else is speaking; and DO NOT acknowledge or accept any message by just 'clicking' your handset, it must be done verbally. Positive acknowledgment. Reporting of Hazards, Incidents, Damage and Violations All operators and drivers of any mobile equipment shall report to their supervisor immediately using the Hazob process: Any hazard that has the potential to cause harm or damage to equipment; and Any incident, near miss, injury or damage to persons or equipment; Incident Reporting All personnel must report any dangerous situation, injury to a person or damage to equipment to their Supervisor immediately, in accordance with the PoE Incident Reporting Procedure. Emergency Procedures In the event of an accident or emergency, contact the Terminal Supervisor. The Terminal Supervisor will contact the appropriate emergency services and organise escort vehicles if necessary, in accordance with the PoE Emergency Response Plan. Refuelling Light Vehicle The following points are to be observed to ensure the safe fuelling of light vehicles: The vehicle s engine must be turned off; No smoking or naked flames within ten (10) metres of vehicles or pump while fuelling is in progress; Mobile phones must not be used while fuelling. They must be turned off or left within the vehicle cab; and Replace nozzle correctly to prevent unwanted fuel spills. Mobile Equipment The following are minimum requirements for mobile equipment re-fuelling: The engine is to be shut down and ignition off; No equipment is to be left unattended while re-fuelling; Either the keys are to be removed from the ignition or where appropriate an out of service tag is to be placed on the equipment, or the equipment isolated. Where the person is standing clear of the equipment while re-fuelling there should not be a need to isolate the equipment; and The use of mobile phones is prohibited during the refuelling process.

29 Page: 29 of 39 Mechanical Response Steering Failure Steering system failure is rare, but knowing what to do before this happens can cut down on driver or operator reaction time in this type of emergency. What to do: Activate hazard lights; Shift to neutral (depress the clutch); Hold the parking brake and pump the parking brake firmly to reduce speed quickly; and Be prepared for a collision as it is unlikely that the driver or operator can control the direction in which the vehicle will move. A steering or suspension problem usually won t happen without warning. If the driver or operator notices something abnormal about the vehicle steering, it could be an early warning sign of a problem that could lead to steering failure. With a complete steering failure, the driver or operator will have lost control of where the vehicle is headed, obviously a serious problem. Drivers or operators should try to remember not to use heavy braking as it could cause further loss of control. Brake Failure When it comes to vehicle safety, no system is more important than the brakes. They're often the only thing between the driver or operator and an accident. Having the brakes fail is one of the most helpless feelings a driver or operator can experience. Fortunately it is very unusual for a vehicle to suffer total brake failure. Most vehicles retain some degree of braking capacity even when there has been a failure of the main system. In the event of a brake failure: Try not to panic. Work the vehicle to the side of the road and activate your emergency hazard lights; Let the vehicle slow down gradually by taking your foot off the accelerator. Simply steer as your vehicle slows and shift into a lower gear to let the engine help slow the vehicle; Once off the road, shift into neutral and gradually apply the hand brake until the vehicle stops. If that brake has also failed, direct the car onto a soft edge or rub the wheel against a windrow, which will help you to slow down; Get the vehicle off the road and to a safe place to avoid stopping traffic or being involved in a collision; When safely off the road, put out reflective triangles or cones beside and behind your vehicle to alert other road users; keep your emergency hazards going; Communicate your situation on via radio to the Terminal Supervisor. Don't stand behind or next to your vehicle; if possible, stay away from the vehicle and wait for help to arrive. Do not be tempted to drive your vehicle, no matter how slowly, without brakes! Call for help to get the vehicle towed. Wear your PPE. Breakdown Procedure Broken Down Light Vehicles If a light vehicle is broken down, leave the parking lights and hazard lights on. If the vehicle is causing an obstruction on the road, arrange for flashing lights to be placed around the vehicle. If it can be avoided, do not park light vehicles in the vicinity of heavy vehicles. Contact your Supervisor or delegate and advise them of the breakdown vehicle and

30 Page: 30 of 39 its location. If the vehicle is parked on a slope, turn the front wheel into the kerb or drain and chock the wheels, put the vehicle into first gear and ensure the handbrake is fully applied. Lightning Strikes If your vehicle is struck by lightning then advise the Terminal Supervisor immediately. Do not move the vehicle. Do not get out of the vehicle until instructed by your supervisor. If radio communication is in operational, stay in vehicle and try to raise attention of others as soon as possible. Breakdowns Any vehicle that is broken down should be moved off the road, provided it can be done so safely. Where equipment requires maintenance on the roadside, hazard lights shall be left operating. For Heavy Equipment the wheels must be chocked and reflective triangles and witches hats used. In addition the hazard should be communicated through Security Control using all available radio channels to warn other operators. No person can work on a broken down vehicle where they are at risk of being hit by passing traffic unless a second person either slows passing traffic or acts as a spotter to warn the person conducting the maintenance. Breakdown and Recovery Vehicles shall be towed from roads before repairs are conducted, where possible. Before towing operations commence on haul roads, notification shall be given to all haul road users through the communication system. Before earth-moving equipment is towed a risk assessment will be conducted and control measures implemented. Where equipment requires maintenance on the roadside: The wheels must be chocked and all implements lowered to the ground; Reflective triangles or traffic cones shall be used for larger equipment; and The hazard should be communicated through the radio system to warn other operators. No person may conduct equipment maintenance on the roadside unless the above protective measures are in place and a second person acts as a spotter to warn the person conducting the maintenance of passing traffic. Traffic Management Requirements Mobile Equipment Inspection All equipment operated at the PoE site shall be maintained to a standard and be in accordance with Western Australia road regulations. All mobile equipment will be subject to an initial inspection upon commissioning, either by an approved contractor or by an appropriately qualified PoE employee, and then be subject to an ongoing prestart check system and regular planned maintenance program. The minimum requirements, prior to use onsite, are that the vehicle or equipment passes the Western Australian Government requirements for roadworthiness. Items such as brakes, steering, suspension and restraint devices are deemed to be a critical safety issue. If a fault is found by an initial inspection or pre-start check the equipment or vehicle is not to be utilised until repairs of such faults are affected.

31 Page: 31 of 39 Prestart Inspections All mobile equipment or vehicles onsite must undergo a documented pre-start inspection check prior to first use on each shift. The pre-start inspection will assess the overall condition of the vehicle and check all necessary fluids and operations prior to commencing work with a piece of equipment. Loads All loads must be secured. This can be either through physical tie down restraint or by design of the compartment for the load e.g. toolbox. For light vehicles a cargo barrier or load restraint must be used where loads are to be carried in the passenger compartment. Pre-start checks must include checking the load where appropriate. Loads on freight and delivery trucks should be secured by competent individuals who have received appropriate documented training to perform this task. General The following requirements apply to the transport of cargo: All cargo must be secured (this can be either through physical tie down restraint or by design of the compartment for the load e.g. Toolbox.); or For light vehicles, a cargo barrier or load restraint will be used where cargo is to be carried in the passenger compartment. Pre-start checks must include checking the cargo. Where the loss of control of any cargo has the potential to cause a fatal or serious incident, a risk assessment shall be conducted and controls implemented before the load is moved. Use of Forklifts Forklift use should be restricted to loading and unloading operations wherever possible. Transporting of loads from one location to another should be conducted by truck or other suitable load shifting equipment. The use of forklifts for other than loading and unloading operations shall be subject to additional controls as determined by a risk assessment. The risk assessment should: Identify all places where there is potential for collisions between forklifts and pedestrians, or forklifts and other vehicles, columns, racking etc.; Consider the safe arrangement of loads, especially off-centre loads which cannot be centred, the distance loads could fall (including rolling/ splashing) and the factors affecting forklift stability; Consider the way the forklift mast, load or stacked goods obstruct the operator s view; Consider the braking distance of laden forklifts, given forklift s poor braking characteristics with respect to light vehicles; Consider the most efficient route for traffic flows and reduced frequency of interaction with hazards; and Consider the pavement conditions throughout the route travelled. Oversize Loads Any oversize loads must be escorted by a vehicle, which complies with the Western Australian minimum requirement.

32 Page: 32 of 39 Escort Vehicles Escorts must have two flashing lights (one flashing beacon and hazard lights complies) and must maintain radio contact with the vehicle being escorted. The driver of any escort vehicle operating on the PoE must have completed a site induction. Vehicle Identification All PoE and contractor vehicles shall have letters and numbers clearly displayed on their vehicles so that they can be identified within the Port operational areas. Letters and numbers shall be a minimum of 150mm in size and shall be displayed on both sides of the vehicle at all times. Identification letters and numbers shall be visible during daytime and night time. High-reflectivity material should be used either for the characters or for the background to the characters. Reporting of Defects Vehicles shall not be driven or machinery operated if any fault is found that makes the vehicle unsafe. Unsafe vehicles shall be appropriately tagged out of service. Any such fault shall be reported immediately. All faults shall be logged on the pre start checklist. Notification of accidents, incidents and near misses All near misses, incidents and accidents shall be reported to a Supervisor as soon as possible, in accordance with the PoE Incident Reporting Procedure Note: Do not move any vehicle involved in an accident until authorised by a Supervisor. Light Vehicle Rotating or Flashing Lights Flashing amber lights fitted to light vehicles shall only be operated when the vehicle: Is entering operational or restricted areas where mandatory operation is required; Is being used for escorting purpose; and Is being used to identify hazards in an emergency situation. Pedestrian Management People and Plant Interface Light vehicles and personnel are not permitted within 30m of operating mobile equipment due to the risk of a fatality or serious incident occurring; Should personnel or a light vehicle enter the 30m zone it is imperative that all movement of mobile equipment cease, and ground breaking equipment is grounded ; Machines shall remain stationary until such time as the pedestrian or light vehicle is clear of the 30m zone; Where personnel are unable to maintain the mandatory 30m exclusion zone additional controls shall be implemented to mitigate the risk using the hierarchy of controls. Pathways and Crossings Designated pathways for pedestrians will be provided where appropriate and shall be used at all times.

33 Page: 33 of 39 Identified pedestrian crossings will be provided at suitable locations and illuminated at night. Pedestrians must give way to all mobile equipment at identified pedestrian crossings except zebra crossings. Safe Practices Working in the Vicinity of Mobile Equipment In work areas where vehicles and pedestrians interact e.g. forklift operations, workshop operations, storage sheds or wherever else pedestrians may work in the vicinity of mobile equipment, pedestrians shall: Wear high visibility clothing; Never cross the path of a moving vehicle; Never turn their back to a vehicle moving in their direction; Use radios or other positive means of communication to convey their travel intentions; Never assume that the driver has seen them through his or her mirrors; and Make visual contact with equipment operators before walking within close proximity or within the exclusion zone of the machine. One spotter for each piece of equipment. Safe Use of Spotters Operators of mobile equipment must remain alert for the movements of other vehicles, and pedestrians. Operators of mobile equipment must exercise caution when backing up and use a spotter when necessary. A spotter will be used when heavy vehicles reverse in heavy trafficked areas within the processing plant. A spotter is a person on the ground, solely responsible for guiding the direction of any part of an item of mobile equipment or vehicle. Spotters should: Remain visible in the driver s mirrors, in a position of safety; Maintain a clear view of the hazard areas (driver s blind spots); Stay clear of the vehicle s path; Avoid walking backward; Use agreed upon hand signals to communicate with the driver; Immediately signal the driver to stop if any person or object enters the hazard areas; and Signal the driver to stop if the spotter must change positions when the vehicle is moving; the spotter should then move to the new position and signal the driver to continue. In the case of an excavator (or similar boom-type machine) the spotter should remain a minimum of two metres from the length of maximum reach while the machine is in operation. Person(s) may enter the swing zone of plant once the operator has established positive communication with the person(s) to enter the area and the machine has ceased operation and grounded their bucket etc. Fitness for Work Fatigue Management In the event that an operator or driver is suffering from the effects of fatigue or becomes impaired, that person is to immediately park the mobile equipment in a safe parking area and contact their Supervisor.

34 Page: 34 of 39 Drugs and Alcohol Operators are not to be affected by drugs or alcohol. Training Equipment must only be operated by persons who are trained and assessed as competent for that particular type and model of equipment for specific areas or road types. All training must be in accordance with the following: All training must be equipment and model specific; All training and assessment for mobile equipment must be conducted in accordance with WA state legislation by authorised competent persons, who as a minimum possess nationally recognised competencies in workplace training and assessment; Competency shall be re-assessed on a 2 yearly frequency determined by risk assessment as appropriate to the mobile equipment or vehicle being operated. This risk assessment shall include consideration of those people who do not operate or move a certain type of mobile equipment or vehicle for an extended period; Training matrix recording competency information must be readily available to all Supervisors and Managers. Disciplinary Action for Breach of Rules Any breach of the road rules shall result in disciplinary action being taken against the offender. If the breach of road rules is severe, or causes an accident resulting in injury or property damage, the driver may face disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. Refer to the PoE disciplinary process. Cancellation of Licence It shall be the responsibility of the employee or contractor to inform their manager if their government issued licence to drive has been cancelled due to a driving offence. Cancellation of a licence to drive on government roads, also removes the right to drive on PoE controlled and monitored areas. Personnel who may lose their licence in this manner should request Court dispensation to allow driving during work hours. Fines imposed by government or local departments on SPA PoE or private vehicles shall be the responsibility of the driver and in the event of unidentified driver of a SPA PoE vehicle, the allocated owner of the vehicle shall be liable.
