Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Assessment
Hilton Foods Truganina – Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Assessment
Traffic & Pedestrian Safety Assessment - Hilton Foods Victoria:
Hilton Foods’ busy logistics hub in Truganina, VIC, is a high-activity environment with constant heavy vehicle and forklift movement. Committed to continuous improvement, Hilton Foods engaged Modus to undertake a Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Assessment to proactively reduce risk and reinforce their safety-first culture.
As operational demands grew, so did the need to review how pedestrians, vehicles and forklifts interacted onsite. The assessment focused on enhancing visibility, clarifying pedestrian zones, and supporting safer navigation for heavy vehicles and forklifts, ensuring the site remains productive and protected.
Through this targeted approach, Hilton Foods demonstrated industry leadership in logistics site safety and compliance, aligning with best practice on forklift and pedestrian risk mitigation.
Following implementation, Hilton Foods achieved:
-
Greater pedestrian safety and vehicle separation
-
Improved traffic flow within high-use areas
-
Stronger reinforcement of its safety culture
The Hilton Foods Truganina project highlights the value of a Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Assessment in complex logistics and warehousing environments. By prioritising clear way-finding, safe pedestrian pathways, and controlled vehicle movement, Hilton Foods has set a benchmark for proactive workplace traffic safety.
