What a site vehicle segregation checklist is
A site vehicle segregation checklist is a structured list used to review how vehicles and pedestrians are kept apart across a site, because keeping the two separated is one of the main ways collisions are prevented.
This page is an educational overview with a simplified example of what such a checklist usually contains. It is not an official template and not jurisdiction-specific — the employer decides what segregation arrangements are appropriate for the site.
Purpose
- Confirm vehicles and pedestrians have separate routes where possible.
- Check barriers, crossings, gates and signage are in place and sound.
- Review shared areas where separation is not possible.
- Create a dated record that the arrangements were reviewed.
Who completes it
- A competent person appointed by the employer, with worker input.
- Issues are fed into the site’s traffic and improvement process.
- The employer decides who reviews and who is responsible.
- Physical changes such as barriers are carried out separately.
When it is used
- On a review cycle set by the employer.
- When the layout, traffic or work on the site changes.
- After a near miss or incident between a vehicle and a person.
Typical items
- Site or area, date and reviewer.
- Separate vehicle and pedestrian routes where they exist.
- Barriers, kerbs, rails and crossings and their condition.
- Gates, doors and entrances shared by vehicles and people.
- Shared areas and how they are managed and signed.
- Issues found and action owner — example items only, adapt to the site.
Common mistakes
- Relying on signs alone where a physical barrier is needed.
- Pedestrian routes that funnel people into vehicle areas.
- Crossings placed where drivers cannot see people in time.
- Not reviewing the arrangements when the layout changes.
Document workflow
The segregation checklist sits within the site’s traffic management arrangements. Before it, the risk assessment and the traffic management checklist identify where vehicles and people interact; alongside it sit the pedestrian-route and yard checks.
After it, issues feed barrier, crossing and signage changes and any incident review. See the related documents below for what is commonly used with a site vehicle segregation checklist.
Retention (high level)
Completed checklists are usually kept for a period set by the employer and any applicable rules, with the site’s safety records.
This page does not state a required period — confirm retention with the applicable law and the official authority.
Completing and sharing as a PDF
Segregation reviews are often recorded and stored as PDFs so they can be shared and kept as a record. Exporting to PDF supports the record; it does not make the review official or guarantee compliance.
Employer checklist
- Separate vehicles and people physically wherever it is possible.
- Provide barriers, crossings and clear signage at interaction points.
- Manage shared areas with clear, enforced arrangements.
- Review the arrangements whenever the layout or traffic changes.
Worker notes
- Use the marked pedestrian routes and crossings.
- Stay out of vehicle areas unless you must be there and are seen.
- Report barriers, gates or crossings that are missing or damaged.
Country considerations
Requirements for workplace traffic and pedestrian segregation vary by country, and the official authority differs. This page is general and high-level — not a statement of any country’s law and not a guarantee of validity.
Confirm current requirements with the official authority for your country and a qualified professional.
Who is responsible
The employer is responsible for keeping vehicles and pedestrians safely apart and for compliance. This page is an educational overview with a template example; it does not make a site safe and does not transfer responsibility.
