[Audio] Kia Ora and welcome to the Meeanee Overbridge Project induction. As part of the Hawke's Bay Expressway upgrade, this project will deliver two new overbridges to improve safety and traffic flow. Delivered by Brian Perry Civil in partnership with Waka Kotahi and Napier City Council, our goal is to complete the work safely and efficiently..
[Audio] ***The Hawkes Bay Expressway is experiencing growing congestion and safety issues to Kennedy Rd and Meeanee Rd intersections. Current overbridges can't meet future traffic demand, so this project will deliver two four-span, two lane overbridges. Works include piling, structural and earthworks, lighting, and traffic management, all in compliance with safety and environmental standards. Once complete, the bridges will improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and enhance safety, supporting regional growth and aligning with NZTA's strategic objectives..

[Audio] Both bridges are located on State Highway 2, at the Meeanee Road and Kennedy Road interchange on the Hawke's Bay Expressway. During construction, expect active traffic management adjustments and restricted access to ensure safety for both workers and road users..
[Audio] Here's what the project is starting to look like: a new bridge alongside the existing Kennedy Road and Meeanee Road bridges..
[Audio] The project Client is NZTA and Brian Perry Civil Ltd are the 'Main Contractor' for the project..
[Audio] This slide shows who's who on the project. You will likely become familiar with the some of these people during your time here..
[Audio] These are the four values that our company follow daily. Please familiarise yourself with our values. Protect, Be Bold, Customer Leading, Better Together..
[Audio] Feedback is vital to project success. Employee Observation Cards are available for reporting hazards, near misses, injuries, environmental, quality, or positive observations. We encourage reporting of all issues and successes. Once completed, submit your card to the Project Management Team so actions can be taken and good work recognised..
[Audio] Our goal is zero harm. Everyone must understand their task, identify risks, and follow the rules. If you feel unsafe or unsure, stop work and seek guidance. For health and safety support, speak with your line leader or Tu Maea..
[Audio] Visible leadership is all about being present and staying curious. When we engage with our teams, share what we see, and keep learning, we build a stronger safety culture. Through leader walks, quick risk checks, and verifying our critical controls, we make sure everyone goes home safe, every day.
[Audio] As a Fletchers group we live by 9 life saving rules.
[Audio] Our Life Saving Rules save lives - Know them. Follow them. Live them...
[Audio] Please ensure you read each of these rules and understand what they mean. For your reference, The Life Saving Rules are also posted around site and in the office.
[Audio] Each one has a BPC Standard with minimum requirements & mandatory application across all operations including CCV checks. We will go through what Critical Risks and controls relate to this project further into the presentation..
[Audio] Safety starts here: Enter via 194 Guppy Rd, stick to the 10pkh speed limit, reverse park, use a spotter when reversing, and STOP at the exit and check the mirror for pedestrians before entering Guppy Rd..
[Audio] When arriving at the Meeanee site, attend or read the Daily Prestart taking care to note the controls required of you, particularly the PIZ and POZ zones..
[Audio] Be sure to enter the Kennedy Road site from the east. If approaching from the west, proceed under the State Highway 50 overbridge, and make a U turn on Kennedy Road at the intersection with Ashcroft St, so you enter the site from the east..
[Audio] Standard PPE is mandatory on this site. If you don't have the required PPE, speak to a project representative before entering. Failure to comply will result in re-induction and notification to your manager..
[Audio] Quality is everyone's responsibility. Our goal is to deliver a high-quality project that exceeds client expectations. Doing it First Time Right saves time, reduces rework, and protects our reputation. Think before you act—get it right the first time..
[Audio] Our Quality Rules keep quality front and centre: Never bypass an ITP hold point – it can lead to non-compliance and rework. Never change materials or methods without written approval – verbal approvals are not accepted..
[Audio] Think before you act. Good safety starts with solid planning, clear communication, and checking the work as you go. When we plan well, do the job right, check often, and act on what we see, we keep everyone safe..
Your guide to working on HBX Stage 1 Overbridges.
[Audio] Report all injuries immediately. We'll support your recovery and return to work. Subcontractors must notify us as soon as an injury occurs so we can assist both the worker and employer through the required process..
[Audio] Brian Perry Civil has a zero-tolerance approach to drugs and alcohol. To help ensure everyone gets home safe, testing may be carried out at the following times: Pre-employment – Required before starting work on site. For subcontractors, testing costs are the subcontractor's responsibility. Random testing – Can occur at any time during the project. Post-incident testing – Required following an incident or accident as part of the investigation. For cause testing – Conducted where there is reasonable suspicion that a person may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at work. Compliance with these testing requirements is a condition of working on this project and helps maintain a safe workplace for everyone..
[Audio] Smoking and vaping can distract you and create ignition risks. Only use designated smoking/vaping areas - check with your supervisor for details..
[Audio] Every Thursday at 7:00am, we come together for Toolbox Talks to share key safety and environmental learnings, discuss site issues, and identify opportunities to improve. Your feedback and participation are encouraged..
