In cases where employees are required to work on or adjacent to a public roadway, proper signs and barricades warning and directing the area traffic must be in place prior to work proceeding and must be maintained and modified as needed throughout the time frame of the activity. Whenever possible, the arrangement should be accomplished through a contractual agreement with an outside company as determined by a particular project’s needs. Such an arrangement, however, does not eliminate the responsibility of the project manager to assure that adequate signage and barricades are being properly used and appropriately maintained.
Proper signs and barricades are to be used on Carter & Carter jobsites whenever needed, in order to warn and direct pedestrian traffic and our own employees walking and working in the vicinity of a potential hazard, such as an open manhole, trench, falling or flying debris, high pressure pipe testing, etc.
