Due to limited access and safety concerns about an elevated walkway at Clyde fuelling point, earlier this year members requested that the RTBU conduct an OH&S evaluation.
The inspection identified a number of safety concerns and, after a significant amount of work, representatives have come up with a number of solutions including increasing the access opening of the hand railings on both sides at the fuelling and oiling position, and the construction of access gates/restraints on the elevated walk way.
A trial of these solutions at PN went well and the job of constructing the gates has been put out to tender with the installation expected to take place next year.
