Mr Kim Chance MLC Western Australia recently stated in the Legislative Council that the ‘fear of failure breeds mediocrity’. What it means for engineers is that we should go beyond standards to achieve the Safe System philosophy. In a major stakeholder workshop in February 2007, the Commissioner of Main Roads, Mr Menno Henneveld, demonstrated the importance placed upon road safety by Main Roads. He supported the ambitious minimum condition of satisfaction for the New Perth Bunbury Highway (NPBH) project requiring a 10% reduction in serious injuries and deaths compared with current WA best practice. He then set the project aspiration to be ‘zero deaths in the first five years of operation’.
