    Why Do I Need Safety Training?

    In line with OSHA requirements, anyone who operates heavy equipment must receive training prior to operating the machine on their own. OSHA requirements for refresher training related to forklifts or other processes are very specific. Most other equipment doesn’t have such specific requirements, but it’s wise to follow the same guidelines.

    When it comes to refresher training, OSHA’s standard in some instances (like forklifts) are very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a work zone?

    Work zones are designated areas for employees to work on a project safely. The site may be altered as the work progresses so it is important to have safe practices and regulations that the workers are aware of so they and their equipment can avoid hazards.

    What is the speed limit in work zones?

    Federal guidelines exist and the average speed in a work zone is between 45 mph and 55 mph. This is to give drivers and workers enough time to react to dangerous situations. There are often signs indicating reduced speed zones ahead of construction zones as well.

    What is the most common accident in a work zone?

    Rear-end crashes are the most common work zone accident. Both backing work vehicles and suddenly stopped pedestrian vehicles entering the work zone are the greatest threat in a worksite.

    What are work zone signs?

    All temporary signs in work zones have an orange background and black letters or symbols and tell you what to do, how soon you will encounter the work zone and the speed limit through the work zone. The reduced speed limits are necessary for the safety of the workers and motorists.

    What are the four sections of the work zone?

    The advance warning area, the transition area, the activity area, and the termination area.

    What is the traffic management plan for?

    To address the traffic-related impacts of the construction projects in a cost-effective, timely manner with minimal interference to the traveling public through the effective application of traditional and innovative traffic mitigation strategies.
