All site traffic accessing and egressing the site will be directed by finger boards
and directional signage. To prevent heavy traffic through residential areas, the
traffic will be directed onto the B2092, where they can either drive south onto the
A259 or North onto the A21, depending on where the vehicles are coming from.
All Subcontractors and transport companies will be notified of these arrangements
prior to any works commencing on site.

KIER SAFETY METHOD STATEMENT
TSLA PROJECT NO. 7080
Title: LONG TERM STRATEGY FOR ACCESS AND EGRESS CONTROL TO
ENSURE SAFE VEHICLE MOVEMENT ON SITE AND REDUCE THE TRAFFIC/
PEDESTRIAN INTERFACE
METHOD STATEMENT
1. Kier will manage all Kier traffic entering and egressing the site from
the main entrance gate (G1) from Edinburgh Road (ref. Traffic
Management Plan attached).
2. Kier will assist in the management of all School traffic to ensure
compliance with the overall site traffic management and control
strategy.
3. A Kier Traffic Marshall will be located during site operational hours at
position TM1 equipped with two-way radio communication set to a
separate channel, solely for logistics. The School Site Manager will
also be directly contactable.
4. The Traffic Marshals will prevent any Kier site traffic movement on
the School access road beyond TM1, from 8.15am to 9.00 am and
from 2.55pm to 3.20 pm.
5. TM1 will challenge all vehicles entering the School site through G1.
He will ascertain why they are accessing the site and direct that
traffic accordingly.
6. Traffic travelling to the main Kier Site Office compound will be
directed from TM1 to Banksman 1 and onto the compound access
road or onto the sports hall set up.
3
7. All Kier site delivery traffic will call ahead to let the site know they
are 10 mins. away from arrival. This will ensure less congestion to
the surrounding roads.
8. If on arrival TM1 ascertains that it is not safe for the vehicle to be
escorted onto the access road, the vehicle will be held in the lay-by
off site until it is safe to do so.
9. All traffic needing to access the main Kier Site Compound (Gate 2) or
the sports hall compound (Gate 1) will be escorted by the banksmen.
These vehicles will travel in the centre of the road to stop any
potential overtaking and have the escort walking on the building side
of the vehicle at least three metres in front of the vehicle.
10. Once the vehicle is within the main Kier Site Compound or the Sports
hall compound the banksman will hand over responsibility for the
vehicle to the appropriate Subcontractor. The Subcontractor will fully
control the vehicle within the Kier Site Compound using his own
designated banksman/traffic marshal.
11. The Subcontractor will call the banksman when the vehicle is ready
to leave and get confirmation that it is safe to do so. The banksman
will then walk back to either gate and escort the vehicle back to TM1.
12. All site traffic will travel at walking pace i.e. 5 mph.
13. TM1 will also assist in the direction of all pedestrian traffic onwards in
conjunction with School Staff along the clearly designated pedestrian
route.
14. If any vehicles or pedestrians fail to comply with the Traffic
Marshalls’ instructions/directions, registration numbers or
descriptions will be taken and passed to the School for appropriate
action.
15. No reversing on site without full banks man control both ends of the
vehicle will be allowed.
