> Why Use Us
Ten Good Reasons To Use Traffic Watch Australia
1. Safety
We are fully compliant with the Victorian Road Management Act 2004 Code of Practice for worksite safety related to Traffic Management. As such we are fully committed to protect the safety of our staff engaged in carrying out road works, and that of other road users also.
2. OH&S
We are fully compliant with the Occupational Health & Safety Act 2004 and in particular are aware of Section 21 – Duties of employers to employees. All our key staff have undergone an intensive five day accredited OH&S course. Click here to access our Corporate OH&S Policy…..
3. Qualified Staff
We realise that we are only are as good as our staff on the ground. We therefore ensure our team members are fully ticketed and accredited for the tasks they undertake. In addition to the relevant legislative requirements, (in particular Section 99A (3)(C) of the Road Safety Act 1986 for training of persons involved in Traffic Management) key staff are also OH&S and First Aid trained.
4. 24 hr access
Such is the pace of business today, we recognise the demands placed upon our customers and their clients. Our account managers are therefore on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist with any requirements you may have.
5. Flexible Labour
Unlike other Traffic Management companies, our team do not sit idle when the job has stopped. This may often be the case when we are facilitating trucks from construction sites where there are breaks between trucks leaving and returning to site. In such situations our staff will volunteer to help the site foreman with general light labouring duties. This provides the client with a value for money service and helps to keep our Traffic Managers alert and effective.
6. Experience of working with large firms/complex projects
Our client base covers a wide variety of blue chip companies, covering a wide selection of industry. Namely we have traffic management experience on a variety of large sites, in areas such as major earthworks, demolition, construction, and major roadways. To ensure that these major works are correctly mapped and designed for traffic management purposes, we use only the latest industry standard software, thus ensuring a legally compliant and efficient project.
7. Competitive pricing
The old adage still holds true – you get what you pay for.! We firmly believe that we offer a value for money service (see Reason 5 above), and whilst we are not the cheapest service around we are not the most expensive. Some companies initially look cheaper on the hourly rate, but the final cost is not. Which leads us nicely into the next point below…………..
8. No hidden costs
We quote you an hourly rate plus a daily hire rate for signage – and that’s it! We do not have any hidden costs, such as meals allowance, travelling time, site allowance etc etc.
9. Australian Standards:- Legal signage/ Layout etc
All our signs and traffic control devices comply with the Victorian Code of Practice for Traffic Management. In addition all Traffic Management Plans are submitted for approval to the appropriate governing body.
10. Our Guarantee
Our 100% cast iron, no quibble guarantee, states if you are not totally satisfied with any member of our staff, we will replace them the same day, or at the very latest, the next working day.
