While driving near my house, I saw an accident where concrete struts had fallen off the transporting truck. This brings home that accidents and incidents don’t only happen at site, but can happen during the commute to and from the site. Think of it, equipment is being transported by third parties, who claim that they meet your safety expectations, through civilian traffic which definitely doesn’t meet your safety expectations here in Malaysia.
If I was doing a risk assessment and having to fill this out on a risk matrix, the consequence of getting bad publicity (do you still want your logo on the equipment being transported?) is high, compared with an accident happening in the remote reaches of Kalimantan, or just having you stuff sink to the bottom of the South China Sea.
Accident - Cement Struts on Road
Of course, imagine if the cement had dropped onto an occupied vehicle which happened to be next to the truck at the time of the incident.
