Posted By JanK Hi, I'm looking for data/statistics/information/articles etc. on 1) the effectiveness of convex or domed mirrors in the blind corners/hallways etc. in the prevention of pedestrial collisions, and 2) Any information on alternative products/technology to avoid pedestrian to pedestrian or pedestrian to vehicle collisions on blind corners. Has anyone come across this kind of information?

Posted By Tabs No stats, sorry ... but what about a 'keep left' policy and floor markings / colouring to emphasise it? Mirrors are very useful but only if you happen to be looking at them.

Posted By Davelfc Jan, I am unable to answer your question, but know a man who possibly could, Ihelped a chap in the HSE Jim Corbridge, condcut a trial on convex mirrors on All terrain FLT Telehandelers on construction sites. He works from Manchester, this was three or so years ago so he may have moved on? He was a specialist at what he did, what I picked up which may help you is that if mirrors where positioned correctly they where very effective, but only if all on the site where wearing high visibility clothing. This was very improtant I was actually very surpried at how effective the mirror is, we actuall acheived 360 degrees vision with little blind spot and you could actually see all four wheel stations if postioned correctly. The slightest movement in High vis was easliy spotted by the operator. Hope this helps. Dave
