Traffic & Pedestrian Safety Risk Reviews

(Also referred to as High Level Risk Reviews or HLRR) provide a practical, site-based assessment of traffic and pedestrian safety risks within live operational environments.

Modus undertakes reviews across workplaces such as warehouses, schools, hospitals, and industrial facilities, focusing on how vehicles, pedestrians, and mobile plant interact in real conditions.
The outcome is a clear understanding of where risks exist and how they may be addressed.

Understanding Your Site's Safety Risks

A High-Level Risk Review is a structured assessment of traffic and pedestrian safety based on how a site actually operates day to day.

The review focuses on identifying risks associated with:

  • vehicle and pedestrian interaction
  • internal traffic circulation and access points
  • mobile plant movement and operational overlap
  • visibility, signage, and driver awareness

Assessments are grounded in real operating conditions, considering user behaviour, site activity, and physical constraints rather than theoretical layouts or assumptions.

High-level risk reviews are typically used as a first step in understanding your site’s safety risks.

Based on the findings, further work may be recommended, including Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Assessments, Site-Specific Traffic Management Planning (TMP) where a more detailed or formal approach is required.

Our Traffic Safety Approach

Our reviews are focused on identifying real risks and providing clear, practical recommendations based on site conditions and operational behaviour. Empowering you to make changes and keep your people safe.
1
Site & Context Review
We review the site, surrounding road network, and available information to understand how traffic and pedestrian movements occur in practice.
2
Risk Identification
Key risks are identified based on site conditions, user behaviour, and relevant guidance, including visibility, signage, access, and operational clarity.
3
Safety & Operational Assessment
We assess how the site performs under typical conditions, identifying areas where inconsistency, ambiguity, or constraints may increase risk.
4
Recommendations & Next Steps
Practical mitigation measures are provided to improve safety and operation, along with guidance on appropriate next steps, including whether further assessment or traffic management planning is required.

Our High Level Risk Reviews Cover:

Access & Movement Risks

Assessment of vehicle access points, circulation, and interaction with surrounding road networks, including areas where movement patterns may create safety risks.

Visibility & Traffic Control

Review of signage, sight distance, and driver awareness, identifying areas where inconsistent or unclear traffic control measures may impact safety.

Operational Safety & Behaviour

We assess how the site operates in practice, including pedestrian movements, servicing activity, and user behaviour that may contribute to risk.

HLRR FAQs

What is a High Level Risk Review?
A High Level Risk Review is a structured assessment used to identify traffic and pedestrian safety risks based on how a site operates, including vehicle, pedestrian, and plant interaction.
When should a High Level Risk Review be undertaken?
Reviews are typically undertaken where safety risks are unclear, following a near miss or incident, or when a site’s traffic and pedestrian interaction needs to be better understood.
Does this replace a Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Assessment?
No. A High Level Risk Review is an early-stage assessment used to identify risks. It may inform the need for a more detailed Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Assessment where required.
Is this the same as a Traffic Management Plan?
No. A Traffic Management Plan sets out specific controls and measures. A High Level Risk Review helps determine what risks exist and what level of management or control is required.
What types of sites can be reviewed?
High Level Risk Reviews can be undertaken across a wide range of operational environments, including warehouses, schools, hospitals, industrial sites, and other locations with traffic and pedestrian interaction.
