This group of failure modes arise as a result of short term planning or communication errors related to vehicle traffic flows and interactions. It includes:
- Setting up haulage routes outside the capacity of the fleet
- Requiring vehicles to operate in close proximity to infrastructure or hazardous locations
- Poor inspection of or response to conditions in the work environment
- Operating outside permitted times, locations or other constraints
The business inputs which address these types of failure modes are presented.
