AFSI offers a unique
arrangement for resource road monitoring, which has proven to be highly effective. We believe that resource road monitoring is intended to be educational; however, common practice is often lost in ‘typical enforcement’ because of the negative consequences of receiving a traffic violation ticket and the associated fine. AFSI’s Resource Road Monitoring program is a positive approach which creates dialogue between the road user and a person in authority, wherein the road user is educated on the risks associated with not adhering to the rules of the road. Resource Road Monitoring is also an opportunity to identify and acknowledge good behaviour.
Monitoring Includes:
- monitoring for all traffic on a road addressed by the client. Traffic includes all employees and representatives (workers, drivers, operators), primary contractors, operators, maintenance contractors and other service sector representatives working for client as well as any and all other road users such as commercial, industrial, and recreational users;
- use of radar to monitor speed;
- use of resource road radios to monitor radio traffic and compliance with radio-calling protocol;
- bi-weekly reporting which includes general traffic count, identification of trends, and potential problem-solving techniques such as awareness and education;
- real-time reporting for critical incidents that require immediate action;
- corrective action of load securement (i.e. NSC Schedule 10) and seen in a positive manner to ensure compliance with all federal and provincial regulations;
- resource road awareness re: radio protocol, rules of the road, and load securement;
- adherence to traffic rules and regulations and good safety procedures;
- non-industry users will receive information to ensure their travel on the road is done in a safe manner;
- value-added services such as real-time positive reinforcement and recognition for good behaviour;
- value-added services that creates a positive corporate image within the industrial community. (This will demonstrate CNR’s proactive approach to monitoring the activities of road users.); and,
- value-added services to promote a culture of safety, respect, positive attitude and behaviour.
