A4 Purpose and Scope The purpose of this document is to identify the processes, procedures and key personnel employed by Limerick City & County Council, to deliver the winter service on Priority Routes for County Limerick and to ensure the safe movement of vehicular traffic and keep to a minimum delays caused by adverse weather. It is desirable that these routes be kept serviceable in the normal winter weather conditions, as far as reasonably practicable. The scope of the plan deals with all National Roads (excluding those catered for by the TII Network B Maintenance Contract, Network A Maintenance Contract & the Tunnel PPP Operator M20, M7, M8, N18 and a portion of the N21), a number of strategic Regional Routes and a number of strategically important Local Roads – categorized in Priority 1, 2 and 3 terms and covering a total of in excess of 707km throughout the County. See Appendix H.

A5 Policy

It is the policy of Limerick City & County Council to provide a winter service plan, which, as far as reasonably possible, allows the safe movement of vehicular traffic on the more important defined routes of the road network, while minimising delays & accidents directly attributed to adverse weather conditions in accordance with the priorities set out below as resources permit. Current practice is to endeavour, within the resources available, to maintain major traffic routes in a PASSABLE CONDITION.

The desired level of service may not be achievable at all times. Even where the weather forecasting is predicted properly the freezing point may be a number of hours earlier or later in arriving than predicted. It cannot be guaranteed that the network will remain in an ice or frost free state. The primary responsibility for road safety remains with the driver of the vehicle. Road users cannot assume that all roads are free of ice at any stage and must be themselves responsible for ensuring that they drive or use the road with proper care and attention to their own actions.

Limerick City & County Councils Policy and Procedure for Management of Winter Maintenance is provided in Appendix F of to this document.

A6 Level of Service With approximately 4,000 kms of roadway in County Limerick, it would be unrealistic to expect that every road and pedestrian area in the county can be treated. Therefore, priority has to be given to National Route system (Priority 1), which carries the most intensive volumes of commuter traffic. Every effort is made to ensure that this network is maintained open for traffic at all times, in spite of weather conditions. In extreme weather conditions i.e. a continuous spell of sub-zero temperatures, attention is also given to regional and local road networks on the basis of need and the availability of resources.

Routes to be provided with a winter service have been prioritised into three classifications in accordance with the TII Draft Winter Service Manual.

Route Description Level of Service Designation Priority 1 Those routes which are essential to be To be treated during all weather kept serviceable in all weather conditions, events as far as reasonably practicable The aim is to treat the national road network and strategic locations on the public road network. See Priority 1 Route Map Appendix H Priority 2 Those routes which are desirable to be To be treated as part of the normal kept serviceable in the normal winter winter service but may have weather conditions, as far as reasonably interruptions to treatment in certain practicable. severe weather events. See Priority 2 Route Map Appendix H Priority 3 Those routes that could be kept serviceable Not treated as part of the normal once Priority 1 and 2 routes have been winter service but may receive treated, if resources allow intermittent treatment during certain severe weather events Treatment Route Priority 1 Priority 2 Priority 3 Mobilisation Time 1 hr 1 hr When possible

Treatment Time 5 hr 5 hrs When possible

Footpaths and Cycleways Footpaths and cycleways will be treated in towns, villages and city environs as resources, particularly personnel availability and Health and Safety considerations, permit. Metropolitan Pedestrian Areas – pedestrian areas can be treated with salt using the 2m3 spreader on a 7.5 tonne truck. Metropolitan Footways – Footways can be treated using the following resources: • 3 no pedestrian spreaders • 1 no tractor with fertiliser spreader. The Metropolitan footways have been categorised into three categories as follows; • Priority 1,Priority 2, Priority 3, Not For Treatment

All decisions should be evidence based, recorded and require careful monitoring and review.

Notes: (a) Particular attention should be given to the possibility of water running across carriageways and other running surfaces e.g. surface water off adjacent fields after heavy rains, washing off salt previously deposited. Such locations should be closely monitored and may require treating in the evening and morning and possible other occasions. Ideally the source of the run-off should be diverted from the roadway.

Revision A October 2018 Page | 12

Limerick City & County Council Winter Maintenance Plan 2018/2019

(b) When a weather warning contains reference to expected hoar frost, considerable deposits of frost can occur. Hoar frost usually occurs in the early morning and is difficult to cater for because of the probability that any salt deposited on a dry road too soon before its onset, may be dispersed before it can become effective. Careful monitoring is required under this forecast condition which should ideally be treated just as the hoar frost is forming. Such action is usually not practicable and salt may have to be deposited on a dry road prior to but as close as possible to the expected time of the condition. Hoar frost may also be forecast at other times of the day, in which case the timing of salting operations should be adjusted accordingly. (c) If under these conditions, rain has not ceased by early morning, crews should be called out and action initiated as rain ceases. (d) Under these circumstances rain will freeze on contact with running surfaces and full precautionary treatment should be provided even on dry roads. This is a most serious condition and should be monitored closely and carefully throughout the danger period. It is worth noting that the MMARC and PPP operators do not follow the same decision criteria as detailed above. The routes under their control are treated once the temperature is forecasted is at 1 degree and below.

TREATMENTS FOR SNOW AND ICE

General • It is impractical to spread sufficient salt to melt anything other than very thin layers of snow and ice. • Ploughing is the only economical, efficient, effective and environmentally acceptable way to deal with all but very light snow. • Ploughing down to the road surface is preferred. However, snow ploughs shall be set to avoid risk of damage to the plough, the road surface, street furniture and level crossings.

Revision A October 2018 Page | 14

Limerick City & County Council Winter Maintenance Plan 2018/2019

• Ploughing to the road surface minimises salt usage and makes salt treatments more effective. • Drainage shall not be obstructed when ploughing. Windrows or piles of snow shall be removed or be positioned to allow melt water to reach the drains. If necessary, piles of snow shall be removed so that melted snow does not overload drainage systems or run back onto the road. • Windrows shall be removed or ploughed back when further periods of heavy snow are anticipated. This will provide space to plough further snowfalls.

Preparation before ice and snow • To prepare for and facilitate ice and snow treatments the following shall be considered: • When snow is forecast, ploughs shall be prepared and positioned in order that snow clearance can start without delay as and when required. • To facilitate the breakup and dispersal of ice and snow by trafficking, treatments shall be made before snowfall or freezing rain so that sufficient de-icer is present on the surface to provide a de-bonding layer. • Although it will increase salt usage, before snowfall and where practicable, consideration shall be given to spreading salt as close to the forecasted event on as much of the network as possible (i.e. beyond the normal precautionary salting network). This will provide a de-bonding layer and facilitate the break up and dispersal of snow by traffic in areas where subsequent treatments may not take place for some considerable time or at all.

Depths of snow (Light snow, moderate to heavy snow) • Two main snowfall categories are defined here – light snow and moderate/heavy snow. The reasons for this are: The highest practicable spread rates are considered to be 40g/m2 of dry salt. When combined with the action of traffic, this is sufficient de-icer to melt snow depths which are equivalent to 1mm of water at temperatures down to -2˚C. Generally, there is approximately 1mm of water in 5mm depth of wet snow, 10mm depth of ‘normal’ snow and 15mm depth of dry, powdery snow. ‘Light’ snow is taken to be snow equivalent to 1mm of water (or less) while snowfalls equivalent to more than 1mm are considered to be moderate/heavy.

Precautionary Treatments before snow or freezing rain

Precautionary Treatments Before Snow Or Freezing Rain Heavy traffic Light or medium traffic Weather conditions (Categories 1 and 2) (Category 3) Spread: Spread: 40 or 2x20g/m2 of dry salt, or 20g/m2 of dry salt, or 40 or 2x20g/m2 of pre-wetted salt, Light snow forecast 20g/m2 of pre-wetted salt, or or 15g/m2 of treated salt 30 or 1x15g/m2 of treated salt Spread: Spread: Moderate/Heavy snow 40 or 2x20g/m2 of dry salt, or 20-40g/m² of dry salt forecast 40 or 2x20g/m2 of pre-wetted 20-40 g/m² of pre-wetted salt salt, or 15-30 g/m² of treated salt (see Note

Revision A October 2018 Page | 15

Limerick City & County Council Winter Maintenance Plan 2018/2019

30 or 2x15g/m2 of treated salt 1)

40 or 2x20g/m² of dry salt, or Freezing rain forecast 40 or 2x20g/m² of pre-wetted salt, or 30 or 2x15g/m² of treated salt Note 1: The lower rates (e.g. 20g/m2 for dry salt) can be used if the snow is likely to settle quickly, e.g. when the road surface temperature is below zero, the road surface is not wet and the snow is not wet, and/or there is little traffic after snowfall begins and settles.

Treatments during snowfall General Ploughing shall start and, where practicable, be continuous to prevent a build-up of snow. On heavily trafficked roads it is preferable to prevent a build-up of more than 10mm depth of snow, whereas the build-up shall be no more than 50mm depth where there is a risk of compaction by traffic.

Table Treatments During Snowfall Plough to remove as much material as possible (e.g. slush, snow, compacted snow) (ploughing shall be as near as possible to the level of the road surface) Ice or compacted snow on surface (see No ice or compacted snow on surface Note 2) To provide a de-bonding layer, spread: 20g/m² of dry salt, or Is traffic likely to compact subsequent 18g/m² of treated salt or snowfall before further ploughing is 24g/m2 of pre-wetted salt possible? (See Note 1) YES NO To provide a de-bonding layer, spread: 20g/m² of dry salt, or 18g/m² of treated salt, or No de-icer shall be spread 24g/m2 of pre-wetted salt (See Note 1) Note 1: During and after snowfall, only the ploughed lane shall be treated if other lanes have still to be ploughed. The spread width settings shall be adjusted accordingly.

Note 2: A de-icer shall not be spread alone without abrasives to anything other than a thin layer of ice or compacted snow when snowfall has ceased or future snowfall will be less than 10mm. Applying salt alone to compacted snow and ice can produce dangerously slippery conditions if a weak brine film is formed on top of the ice/snow layer

Treatment when slush is on the road (and it may refreeze) General It is important to remove as much slush as possible by ploughing to reduce the amount of material available to form ice when temperatures drop, as well as to reduce the amount of salt required for subsequent treatments.

Treatment When slush is on the road, treatments shall be as follows:

Table - Treatment For Slush When Freezing Conditions Are Forecast Plough to remove as much slush as possible (ploughing shall be as near as possible to the level of the road surface). After removing slush, spread: 40g/m² of dry salt, or 36g/m² of treated salt, or 48g/m2 of pre-wetted salt (See Note 1) Note 1: After snowfall, and when there will be no further ploughing but some slush remains on the road surface, it may be necessary to change the settings normally used for Precautionary Treatment to ensure a satisfactory distribution is achieved over the target spread width.

Treatment when thin layers of ice (up to 1mm) have formed When a thin layer of ice has formed, including after freezing rain the following treatment shall be made:

Table - Treatment For Thin Layers Of Ice (Less Than 1mm Thick) Forecast weather and Medium/Light Traffic Heavy traffic road surface conditions Lower of air or road Spread: Spread: surface temperature 40 or 2x20g/m² of dry salt, 20g/m² of dry salt, or higher than -5˚C or 18g/m² of treated salt or 36 or 2x18g/m² of treated 24g/m2 of pre-wetted salt salt or 48 or 2x24g/m2 of pre- wetted salt 40g/m2 of salt/abrasive mix (see Notes 1 and 2) Lower of air or road Spread: Spread: surface temperature 40 or 2x20g/m2 of salt/ 40 or 2x20g/m2 of salt/ abrasive less than -5˚C abrasive mix (50:50) (see mix (50:50) (see Notes 1 and 2) Notes 1 and 2) Note 1: Abrasives shall ideally be 5-6mm and angular, but gradings down to 1-5mm shall be reasonably effective. After abrasives have been used, drainage systems shall be checked and cleared if necessary. Recovered material, which will be contaminated with road oil, shall be disposed of safely.

Note 2: Care is needed when salt is mixed with abrasives with a high moisture content. Checks shall be made that the mixture remains free flowing, does not clump and can be spread effectively.

Treatment for thicker layers of ice or compacted snow When thicker layers of ice have formed, including after freezing rain, the treatment shall be as follows:

Table - Treatment For Layers Of Compacted Snow And Ice Plough to remove as much material (e.g. slush, snow, compacted snow) as possible from the top of the compacted layer

Revision A October 2018 Page | 17

Limerick City & County Council Winter Maintenance Plan 2018/2019

Medium Layer Thickness (1 to 5 mm) High Layer Thickness (greater than 5mm) For initial treatment, spread: For initial treatment, spread: 40g/m2 of salt/abrasive mix (50:50) (see 40g/m2 of abrasives only (see Notes 2, 3, 5 and Notes 1, 3, 4 and 5) 6) For successive treatments, spread: For successive treatments, spread: 20g/m2 of abrasives only (see Notes 2, 3, 5 and 20g/m2 of salt/abrasive mix (50:50) (see 6) Notes 1, 3, 4 and 5) After traffic has started breaking up the layer, spread: 20g/m2 of salt/abrasive mix (50:50) so salt can penetrate the layer and reach the road surface (see Notes 1, 3, 4 and 5) Note 1: For medium thicknesses of compacted snow and ice, treatments without abrasives shall only be used when earlier Precautionary Treatments have successfully established a de-bonding layer, and there is sufficient traffic to break up the layer of ice quickly.

Note 2: For high thickness of compacted snow and ice (greater than 5mm), treatments with a significant amount of salt shall not be considered because they may leave the surface uneven. Any brine formed on the surface may collect in hollows and deepen them further, which can lead to a very uneven surface.

Note 3: Abrasives shall ideally be 5-6mm and angular, but grading down to 1-5mm shall be reasonably effective. After abrasives have been used, drainage systems shall be checked and cleared if necessary. Recovered material, which will be contaminated with road oil, shall be disposed of safely.

Note 4: Care is needed when salt is mixed with abrasives with a high moisture content. Checks shall be made that the mixture remains free flowing, does not clump and can be spread effectively.

Note 5: When there are layers of snow, compacted snow, or ice of medium or high thickness on the road surface, it may be necessary to change the settings normally used for Precautionary Treatment to ensure a satisfactory distribution is achieved over the target spread width.

Note 6: A small amount of salt shall be added to the abrasive to prevent freezing of the water within it. If the moisture content of the abrasive is 7%, 25g of salt per tonne of abrasive is sufficient to prevent freezing if thoroughly mixed.

A15 Plant, Vehicles and Equipment Limerick City and County Council operates, 3 no 9m3 demountable salt spreaders (2 LCCC, 1 hired), 6 no 6m3 demountable salt spreaders, 7 no 2m3 demountable mini salt gritters, 5 demountable snowploughs, 3 graders (maybe used as snow ploughs in extreme exceptional weather conditions), 3 artics with trailers for salt delivery (29 tons per trailer) and 7 other rigid trucks (4x20T payload and 3x15T payload) as required. 1 no 4m3 spare demountable salt spreader (Not Operational_work ongoing), I no 6m3 spare demountable salt spreader ((Not Operational_work ongoing). 1 no 2m3 demountable salt spreader (NCW). 10 hand operated mini salt spreaders for footpaths.

A18 Winter Service Operations Responsibility for managing call-outs on a daily basis lies with the Duty Engineer, of which there are two, who as necessary liaise with the other members of that team and individual Area Road Supervisors and Superintendents depending on weather forecast, RoadDSS system prediction and local conditions as well as local traffic information. Daily calls are considered from early afternoon on receipt of Met Eireann weather forecasts and any other forecasts in respect of precipitation or changes in weather systems. System is monitored

Revision A October 2018 Page | 20

Limerick City & County Council Winter Maintenance Plan 2018/2019

throughout the evening and night as necessary. There are no limitations on the time that the call-out is made other than Health & Safety considerations for Drivers particularly and other staff involved in operation. Every effort is made to ensure that all call-outs are on a planned basis several hours ahead due to time for mobilisation which is quite long for some routes. In case of unforeseen and on the spot call-outs every effort is made to ensure that mobilisation is less than 1 hour. In most cases mobilisation would be considerably less than 1 hour. In managing call-outs the Duty Engineer will monitor the RoadDSS system and other weather information systems available to them and allow for best available information to them on traffic movement e.g. times of day, traffic peaks, local events, day of week and seasonal issues such as Christmas events. The call which is essentially a judgement call will also rely on issues such as: • Any exceptional warnings from Met Eireann, • General observations on prevailing conditions and from RoadDSS weather stations located in County Limerick and those peripherally in neighbouring administrative areas. • Liaison with Duty Engineers in neighbouring administrative basis and road operators. • Liaison through Limerick City and County Council’s out of office hours Emergency Notification. Winter Service Operations Communications Protocals are provided in Appendix K.

A19 Level of Preparedness for 2018-2019 Season. Limerick City and County Council has the competencies to deal with all situations extending from prevention to dealing with extreme weather/climatic events and aftermaths. A programme of training has extended to all operators involved in winter maintenance of both Priority 1 and 2 routes which involves the use of heavy unit gritters and mini gritter units. This has involved all drivers involved in Priority 1 units completing accredited training through national training centres. This has been extended to those involved in smaller units to the best available training though not accredited for personnel involved in Priority 2 routes only. A roster will be prepared of all drivers including all Priority 1 & 2 drivers and an appropriately qualified standby for regular changeover and to provide adequate standby for intensive works during extreme weather condition. Adequate salt supplies are in place and other stocks are on call as necessary. Lines of communication are open to all adjoining authorities to ensure that there is no conflict in terms of operations or omissions during periods of intensive operations or extreme events.

2.0 Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment

1.0 INTRODUCTION

In accordance with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, Part 3 Section 19 every employer shall identify the hazards in the place of work under his or her control, assess the risks presented by those hazards and be in possession of a written assessment (known as a risk assessment) of the risks to the safety, health and welfare of any employee or group of employees who may be exposed to any unusual or other risks under the relevant statutory provisions.

The risk assessment is to outline protective and preventative measures taken and the resources provided for protecting safety, health and welfare at the place of work. The health and safety measures put into place must be adequate to eliminate, control or minimize the risk of injury.

The risk assessment is to be reviewed where there has been significant change in the matters to which it relates or there is another reason to believe that it is no longer valid.

Section 20 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 states that every employer must prepare a written statement known as the safety statement based on the identification of the hazards and the risk assessment carried out under Section 19 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. The Safety Statement will specify the manner in which Safety, Health and Welfare at work of his or her employees shall be secured and managed. This hazard and risk assessment must be read in conjunction with the parent safety statement and the ancillary safety statement for the water division collectively known as the “Safety Statement”.

Hazard: A Hazard is anything that can cause harm.

Hazard Identification: Process of recognizing that a hazard exits and defining its characteristics

Risk: Risk is the likelihood that a person may be harmed by the hazard, together with severity of harm suffered. Risk is also dependent on the number of people exposed to the hazard.

Risk Group: Category of persons exposed to the identified hazards i.e. employees, contractors or visitors.

Revision A October 2018 Page | G-1

Limerick City & County Council Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment Operations & Maintenance Services 2018/2019 Season

Likelihood: The likelihood that someone will be harmed by a hazard on a scale of 1 to 5.

Severity: The severity of the harm that is likely to be suffered on a scale of 1 to 5.

Risk Rating: The risk rating is a calculation of the likelihood that someone will be harmed multiplied by the severity of the harm that is likely to be suffered

Risk Assessment: is a careful examination of what, in the workplace, could cause harm to people, so that the employer can weigh up whether he or she has taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm.

Control Measures The control measures are those measures, which are put in place to reduce and/or eliminate the risk. When considering control measures the general principles of prevention must be used. This are defined in Schedule 3 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 as:  Avoidance of Risks  Evaluation of unavoidable risks  The combating of risks at source  The adaptation of work to the individual, especially as regards the design of places of work, the choice of work equipment and the choice of systems of work, with a view in particular, to alleviating monotonous work and work at a predetermined work rate and to reducing the effect of this work on health.  The adaptation of the place of work to technical progress  The replacement of dangerous articles, substances of systems of work by safe or less dangerous articles, substances or systems of work  The giving of priority to collective protective measures over individual protective measures  The development of an adequate prevention policy in relation to safety, health and welfare at work which takes account of technology, organisation of work, working conditions, social factors and the influence of factors related to the working environment.  The giving of appropriate training and instructions to employees

Appendix J Operator & Plant Guidance Notes

Revision A October 2018 Appendix J

Limerick City & County Council Winter Services Plant and Operator Guidance

1. Winter Service – Plant Guidance Notes

1.1. Salter Maintenance  Where plant operational issues are detected, the Operator shall advice the Duty RSS who shall subsequently contact the Machinery Yard to arrange repair/maintenance.  Lorry inspection sheets must be completed in accordance with Green Folder.

Salter must be inspected daily (dismount of salter is NOT required for daily checks)

Prior to commencing each run:  Check hydraulic oil level – can inspect visually at side of salter donkey engine – if level of oil drops advice RSS  Check bed of lorry under salter for any leaks from donkey engine (visual check only)  Check flashing beacons are operational  Ensure salter and lorry both have fuel and that the salter is filled with salt  Check the restraint straps are in position and in good condition and that the salter is correctly and safely attached to the lorry  On completion of each run:  Wash down the rear of the salter including the spinner, chute, sensor (gently!) and the reflectors (to maintain high visibility)  Report any missing Lorry PPE/equipment or plant defects to Duty RSS  Once a week RSS to organise:  dismount the salter, empty hopper and wash out same  visually inspect the salter components and raise any concerns with Duty RSS to arrange maintenance through Machinery Yard  dip the donkey engine for oil and order more if required via Duty RSS through the Machinery Yard

1.2. Lorry Maintenance Prior to commencing the route:  Operators should complete a visual inspection of lorry's tyres, mirrors, indicators, water, oil etc. and check that all lights and heaters are working. Operators must complete the associated daily checklist paperwork prior to leaving their respective depot.  Should a vehicle require repair / maintenance the machine driver should contact the garage foreman  Operator should familiarise themselves with vehicle's controls

1.3. During Salting Operation The salt spinner sensor is connected to the tracking system to record when and where salt has been spread on the road network. The RED WARNING LIGHT on the computer inside the lorry cab will come on when there is NO salt being discharged from the spinner (ie if the lorry is stopped at a junction, or there is a planned no salt output). If the RED WARNING

Revision A October 2018 Page | J-1

Limerick City & County Council Winter Services Plant and Operator Guidance

light comes on while salt is being spread, the operator should stop the lorry and go to the rear of the salter and clear any build up of salt/snow/debris from around the sensor – this should reactivate the sensor and recording process. If this action does not put the RED WARNING light off, report the fault to the Duty RSS on completion of the route.

Should the hopper become blocked during salting operations the following steps should be followed:

 The driver / helper should attempt to clear the blockage on site, based on the training provided at the Winter Service Operator Course.  The engine of the lorry and conveyor shall be turned off before trying to clear the blockage.  Under no circumstances should operatives climb / access the hopper / conveyor to clear the blockage. All attempts to clear the blockage must be undertaken from ground level.  A nylon pole and mallet have been provided to the Winter Maintenance staff to aid in clearing any obstructions.  Should the operative be unable to clear the blockage they should contact the garage foreman and request the assistance of a mechanic.

1.4. Lorry Cab hygiene  All personal items, effects, food stuffs, drink cans/bottles, rubbish MUST be removed by Operator / Helper at end of each run, leaving the lorry cab in good clean condition for next operator  RSS too organise Lorry Cab (internal) to be swept out and wiped down on weekly basis

Appendix K Communications Protocol

Revision A October 2018 Appendix K

Limerick City & County Council Communications Protocol

Communications Protocol: The provision of Winter Service is a collaborative team effort requiring good communication between Plant Operators, Roads Senior Supervisors & Superintendents, Duty and Monitoring Engineers as well Area Management and Central Services in the Machinery Yard. The protocol below is intended as a guide how communications should work in the first instance on a routine basis. In situations of severe weather it is recognised that this may be amended to suit specific circumstances. a) The Duty Engineer having decided the Action to be taken makes the call and the text is issued to all staff involved in Winter Service and all roads Area Management Staff. b) Each Area has a rota for organising resources that the Senior Executive Engineer (SEE) or his designate has developed with the Road Services Supervisors. c) The Road Services Supervisor (RSS) will arrange resources required including staff and plant. If there are any problems with either they are to liaise with the Plant Yard and Area Management as far as possible to resolve. Other Areas may also be called in for assistance if necessary by the RSS and the Area SEE. d) The Duty Engineer should be contacted by the RSS and advised if there are changes to staff or plant that mean the Service is not being provided as planned on the developed rotas. Examples might include different Drivers or Plant sharing routes when a vehicle is broken down. e) If a driver is unable to complete a route within the normal time due to a breakdown or due to problems at a particular location (eg. clearing a hill or an RTA) the following process should be followed: i. Contact the designated Machinery Yard Foreman (in the case of a breakdown). ii. Contact adjacent colleague drivers on duty to complete the route upon completion of their own route and ring the Duty Engineer to update them on the situation. iii. In severe weather events colleague drivers may not be in a position to complete routes and this should be notified to the Duty Engineer who can confirm this with the media and others. iv. In any event where part of a route is not complete the Road Service Supervisor for that Area should be contacted by the Driver. Maps of Road Service Supervisors Areas will be provided. f) If necessary Drivers may ring the “Duty” Road Services Supervisors out of hours during salting in situations where they cannot resolve problems with colleague drivers or where they wish to highlight specific problems on the network that should be addressed during working hours or by Drivers sharing the route with them on the rota or any other specific problems. g) Drivers must only commence salting at the designated time specified by the Duty Engineer. h) Drivers will complete a salting report for passing on to their colleague drivers on the same route sharing the rota with them. i) Drivers will contact the Fleet Manager once they have returned to the agreed depot / location. They must also notify the Fleet Manager of the quantity of salt spread for that day/night.

j) The Fleet Manager should contact the Duty Engineer as required.
