Winter Service Patrol Mobilisation Sample Clauses
The Winter Service Patrol Mobilisation clause defines the requirements and procedures for deploying patrol teams responsible for maintaining road safety during winter conditions. It typically outlines when and how patrols should be mobilized, such as in response to forecasts of snow or ice, and may specify minimum staffing levels, equipment readiness, and response times. This clause ensures that appropriate resources are in place to address hazardous winter weather, thereby minimizing risks to public safety and maintaining traffic flow.
Winter Service Patrol Mobilisation. The requirement to carry out a Winter Service Patrol will be established as part of the preparation of the daily action plan and instruction will be given as appropriate. Category B Patrols have been designed to comply with the 3 hour cycle required by the contract once during the 00.00 – 03.00, 03.00 – 06.00 and 06.00 – 09.00 periods specified. The times for the routes ensure that there is adequate time for any treatment or further investigation required as well as giving the driver an appropriate break. The routes will be reversed during the second period to ensure that driver returns to his base depot on completion. Category A patrols have a response time of 45 minutes and have a 2 hour cycle. The temperature trigger for Category A patrols is +3 RST and below. Shift patterns are 02.00-10.00 and will be operated on a 4 day on / 4 day off basis. There are also two DSP mobile surface temperature sensors in operation on Patrols PA-3 Kingussie and PB-5 Fort ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Patrol spreaders will be fitted with road surface and air temperature measuring equipment that links back through our Locatu system to the Duty Controllers and WSDOs.
