 The Department of Infrastructure has noted with increasing concern the number of incidents that involve our pot holding crew. These are the guys that work out on the road, fixing the roads. Over the last few months we have had one fatality and up until last week we had another incident involving one of our staff and thankfully he was not very badly injured. We acknowledge that over the last few months the Department has come under tremendous pressure from the public to fix the roads. We have acknowledged and we are attempting to be very responsive to those requests. And as a result we have embarked on a very rigorous program of road maintenance. In order for us to do that we have also engaged with our pot holding crew. We have had several interventions with them to ensure that they have all of the necessary equipment available, that they wear all of the protective equipment and they have been very compliant. So it's of extreme concern to us now that despite all of the steps that we have taken to ensure that we have provided a safe environment for our staff and that we are being responsive to the needs of the public that we are encountering these types of very unfortunate events. It means therefore that the public needs to be very cautious when they are approaching road sites. The crew have complained to us on a number of occasions of being verbally abused by motorists and in some cases persons have driven upon them in a very reckless manner. This is very unfortunate and should not at any time be acceptable behaviour by any member of the public. So we want to take this opportunity to encourage the public to exercise extreme caution when they are approaching road sites and generally to exercise all the necessary precautions when they are operating their vehicles on the road. Share the road. There are other pedestrians, other motorists, other persons using the road. Please be extremely cautious when you are out there on the road and be observant of all of the work sites, not just those by the Department of Infrastructure but all other work sites. Please exercise extreme caution because we do not want all of those works to come at the expense of life and limb of anybody whatsoever. So we are encouraging the public to please be cautious and observant when they are using the roads.
