This report repeats 1 earlier warning. See the linked reports.
The coroner's concerns
1. complex temporary road traffic plan flipped without safety process
“I am concerned that what was agreed by witnesses to be a complex temporary road traffic plan, can be 'flipped' on the ground on the day it is installed without any identifiable process being in place to ensure the scheme is subsequently safe”
2. lack of safety escalation process for identified hazards
“I am concerned that there is no apparent safety escalation process, when as in this case a relatively junior Traffic Management Operative identifies a safety issue with a scheme once it has begun operations”
3. absence of required special signage
“I am concerned that the correct 'special signage' that would have undoubtedly made this scheme safer, was not even considered in this case (as a direct result of the flipping of the original plan)”
4. inefficient signage replacement process
“I am concerned of that the only recourse for a Network Inspector to get temporary traffic management signage replaced, is an apparently protracted procedural route involving multiple individuals remote from the site”
