Site Logistics Truck Routing Audit

Inspection template for auditing site logistics controls related to truck routing, pedestrian separation, crossing controls, flagger use, and dust control.

Truck Routing Controls

• Approved truck routing plan is posted and current
  Route map or site logistics plan is available, reflects current site conditions, and identifies truck entry, exit, staging, and turning areas.
• Truck routes are physically defined and clearly marked
  Routes are delineated with barriers, cones, fencing, paint, or other controls so drivers can follow a single intended path.
• Truck route surface is suitable for safe travel
  Travel paths are reasonably level, free of major potholes, excessive mud, debris, or obstructions that could cause loss of control or unsafe maneuvering.
• Truck speed controls are in place and observed
  Speed limits, slow zones, or other controls are posted and drivers are observed complying with site speed expectations.
• Reversing movements are minimized and controlled
  Backing is limited to necessary areas and uses spotters, alarms, mirrors, or other controls where visibility is restricted.
• Site access points are controlled for authorized vehicles only
  Entry and exit points are managed to prevent unauthorized truck movements and reduce congestion at the gate or delivery area.

Pedestrian Separation

• Physical separation between pedestrians and trucks is maintained
  Barriers, fencing, guardrails, or designated walkways separate pedestrian movement from truck travel paths where exposure exists.
• Pedestrian walkways are clearly identified and unobstructed
  Walkways are marked, maintained, and kept clear of materials, equipment, and temporary storage that would force pedestrians into truck routes.
• Pedestrian access to work areas avoids truck routes where possible
  Access paths are planned to minimize interaction points between workers on foot and moving vehicles.
• Warning signs for vehicle and pedestrian conflict zones are posted
  Signs alert workers and drivers to crossing points, blind corners, loading areas, and other struck-by hazards.
• Lighting is adequate for pedestrian visibility near truck routes
  Where the inspection occurs in low-light conditions, lighting is sufficient for drivers and pedestrians to see one another and identify route boundaries.

Crossing and Flagger Controls

• Designated crossing points are established and used
  Crossings are limited to approved locations with clear sightlines and controls to reduce uncontrolled pedestrian or vehicle crossings.
• Crossing controls are adequate at active conflict points
  Controls such as stop/slow procedures, barriers, gates, or temporary traffic control measures are in place where trucks and pedestrians intersect.
• Flagger is present where required and actively controlling traffic
  When site conditions require a flagger, the person is positioned correctly, visible to drivers, and actively directing movements.
• Flagger is wearing high-visibility PPE and is clearly identifiable
  High-visibility apparel, hard hat, and other required PPE are worn so the flagger can be seen by operators and pedestrians.
• Communication between flagger, drivers, and spotters is effective
  Hand signals, radios, or agreed communication methods are being used consistently and understood by the work crew.
• Blind corners and restricted visibility areas have additional controls
  Mirrors, warning devices, spotters, or temporary restrictions are used where drivers or pedestrians cannot maintain clear line of sight.

Dust Control and Site Conditions

• Dust suppression measures are in use on active travel routes
  Watering, sweeping, surfacing, or other controls are applied to reduce dust generated by truck traffic.
• Dust does not reduce visibility at crossings or route intersections
  Dust levels are low enough that drivers, flaggers, and pedestrians can see one another and identify hazards.
• Site housekeeping prevents dust-generating debris buildup
  Loose soil, aggregate, and debris are controlled so they do not accumulate on roadways, crossings, or loading areas.
• Weather and ground conditions are being monitored
  Wind, rain, mud, or dry conditions that affect dust generation and truck traction are being considered in daily site logistics controls.
• Corrective actions are documented for any observed deficiency
  Any non-conformance related to routing, separation, crossing control, flagger use, or dust control is assigned, tracked, and communicated.
