Evaluate the consequences of proceeding without a PTT in place, particularly regarding worker safety and project delays. (5 marks)

Increased Risk of Accidents

Without a PTT, key safety protocols, such as risk assessments, defined roles, and monitoring requirements, may be overlooked. This increases the likelihood of incidents like collapses, flooding, or equipment malfunctions, jeopardizing worker safety and potentially leading to fatalities.

Delayed Emergency Response

A PTT ensures that emergency response plans are in place and roles are clearly defined. Without it, response to unforeseen events like ground shifts or gas leaks would be delayed, exacerbating hazards and increasing injury risks.

Project Delays and Increased Costs

Accidents or safety violations due to a missing PTT can halt tunnelling operations for investigations or repairs, causing significant project delays and cost overruns. Additionally, non-compliance with regulatory standards can lead to fines and mandatory work stoppages.

Legal and Regulatory Consequences

Operating without a PTT violates regulatory requirements, potentially resulting in legal actions, increased scrutiny, and loss of stakeholder confidence, further delaying project progression.
