Based on the Network Rules and Procedures requirements to maintain 500 metres between each workgroup a risk assessment is carried out to determine what workgroups need to be combined into one worksite.
An assessment is also carried out to identify additional worksite safety risk and mitigation requirements associated with congested areas due to the work or access arrangements.
Once the need for a Coordinated Worksite (CW) is established a draft Coordinated Worksite Management Plan Track Diagram is developed which displays the location of worksites and location of delineation markers.
A suitably qualified person is assigned the role of the Coordinating Protection Officer (CPO).
