Workplace Health and Safety: Tailored Solutions for Safer Environments

At Traffic Planning Consultants, we help businesses create safer workplaces by addressing one of the most common and critical risks: the interaction between vehicles and pedestrians. Whether it's a logistics yard, industrial facility, or large-format retail site, safe movement design is essential to reduce the risk of workplace accidents and meet compliance obligations.

Our specialists work with clients to eliminate or manage conflict points by applying traffic engineering principles to real-world workplace layouts. We begin by understanding how and where these interactions occur — and then develop practical, cost-effective solutions tailored to the site’s unique operational needs.

Our workplace safety services include:

  • Site audits to assess vehicle-pedestrian interaction risks
  • Design of safe movement systems (e.g. one-way circulation, pedestrian segregation)
  • Access and parking layout optimisation
  • Integration with temporary traffic management during construction phases
  • Compliance with WorkSafe NZ and local authority standards

We’ve supported safety upgrades across distribution centres, construction sites, educational campuses, and commercial precincts — always with a focus on achieving high safety standards without unnecessary cost or disruption.

You can see this approach in action through smart solutions like:

  • Tailored Workplace Health & Safety — where we reconfigured pedestrian and forklift movements in a high-risk environment
  • Business Health & Safety Improvements — where strategic redesign improved safety and operational efficiency across logistics facilities

We also work alongside our traffic engineering and road safety audit teams to ensure that health and safety is embedded in every aspect of site design.

If your project or workplace involves vehicle movement, now is the time to improve safety. Explore our full range of services or get in touch for expert advice on practical, proven solutions.
