Accidents involving vehicles or mobile equipment (excavators, dumpers, etc.) on building sites kill more than a dozen workers a year and injure hundreds more. To help make sure that your workers and outsiders can move around your job sites safely,and keep your insurance premiums down, experts recommend using this checklist:
Keep pedestrians and vehicles apart:
have separate entry and exit gateways for pedestrians and vehicles
provide safe pedestrian walkways that take a direct route where possible
make sure drivers with access to public roads can see both ways
don’t block walkways or vehicle routes
install barrier between roads and walks
Minimize vehicle movements:
provide offsite parking
control entry to the site
have storage areas so that delivery vehicles don’t have to cross the site
Control people on site:
recruit drivers and equipment operators carefully
make sure that drivers, operators, and those who direct traffic are trained
manage the activities of visiting drivers
Maximize visibility:
provide mirrors, CCTV cameras or reversing alarms
designate signalers to control maneuvers by drivers or equipment operators
install lighting for use after sunset or in bad weather
make sure that all pedestrians on the site wear high-visibility clothing
Provide safety signage and instructions:
ensure that all drivers and workers know and understand the routes and traffic rules on the site
use standard traffic signs where appropriate
provide safety instructions to all visitors in advance
