Kerb machine extrusion uses a slip-form extruder to place continuous concrete kerbing, often adjacent to live traffic on roadworks. This work triggers High Risk Construction Work under WHS Regulation 2011 r291 due to mobile plant operation and proximity to powered traffic, requiring a documented SWMS before work commences.
Hazards identified
3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.
Fatal crush injury to operator or spotter
Vehicle strike fatality or serious injury
Back, shoulder strain and cement burns
Control measures
Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination → substitution → isolation → engineering → administrative → PPE.
- 1Establish exclusion zone around extruder; deploy trained spotter with two-way radio for plant movements.
- 2Implement compliant TCP/TGS per AS 1742.3 with physical barriers separating workers from live traffic.
- 3Rotate manual tasks, use mechanical aids, and provide PPE including impervious gloves and eye protection.
Applicable Codes of Practice
Mandates SWMS for High Risk Construction Work
Traffic management design near live carriageways
High-Risk Construction Work triggered
Slip-form extruder is powered mobile plant operating in confined work corridor with workers nearby.
Kerb extrusion occurs adjacent to live traffic lanes during road construction and upgrades.
Without SWMS, regulator can issue stop-work and prosecute PCBU under WHS Act.
