In recent weeks there have been a number of events involving the rollover of earthmoving plant and haulage vehicles, across Laing O’Rourke related workplaces.

Fortunately, there have been no serious injuries.

The general risks associated with the operation of such plant on construction sites are well understood, including the specific risks and controls associated with the stability of plant operating and traveling around and on ramps, access ways, inclines and near to excavations.

Given the dynamic nature of our work environment, site layouts are constantly changing, often on an hourly basis. Our level of work activity planning and supervision must take into account these ongoing changes, to ensure the necessary controls are in place and are being effectively maintained.
