The government's shaking up work Safe. They want to essentially shift its focus from being an ambulance at the bottom of the hell to engaging and supporting businesses to manage risk and remember the road Cone hotline while that's being hotly and officially launched today. Dave Tilton is the Parallax CEO Traffic Control Training. Dave, good morning to you. Does this sound all like a bit of nothing to you? What do you make of this announcement?

I think there's there's pockets of good signals here. I think I certainly support the collaborative intent, very much agree with the connection there between Work Safe and councils and EDGTA. When it comes to rolling out the risk based approach to TTUM, I think that's definitely a direction we need to go in. But there's also probably some incompatible components, particularly with the Rotne hotline itself.

What's that? What's the problem with the hot line?

What's that? What's the problem with the hot line?

I think I suppose we need a list in the capability across the industry with respect to TTM, and a hotline really risks increasing the divide, I think between public behavior and how contractors respond to that. My concern really is that the engaging the public to report that all those perceived errants road cones, if you like, kind of creates a culture of disrespect for roadworks. So public sentiment respect it's really crucial for how effective these worksites are, right, So if that eroads, then the risk is that more tt measures are needed to try and engineer the safe environment to get the work done that I suppose my concern what do.

You think the percentage approval rating of your average road come would be? Right now?

I've actually asked this question in a bunch of workshops, and it's somewhat hard to remember that the TTM sectors lived with a very prescriptive standard for the last couple of decades. So that's primarily what people make decisions about or using that to make decisions and how they construct their work zones at the moment. So there is a degree of waste, absolutely, It's just it takes a bit of time for that culture shift to show up.

David, can you just tell me why when you go on to a very quiet, cold de Sack Street, if somebody is fixing a drain or doing a tiny bit of work, that you could just put a couple of road cones around and people can use their own assessments. They need traffic management, they need lights, and they need people like it just seems absurd.

Sorry. It comes back to how people make decisions about how many measures they need, and if it's based on this prescriptive standard it's not this kind of one size fits all, then you end up with a mismatch, certainly in the environments where the risk might be lower. What we really want is people to do a really deliberate and considered specific risk assessments for that environment. And that's not really been the situation or the structure of the system historically.
