Night Work
Working at night poses a serious safety risk for highway & construction workers. Those who work at night are at a higher risk for injury because of:
- reduced visibility for motorists
- reduced visibility for workers
- lack of communication between shifts
- increased number of impaired or drowsy drivers
- sleep deprivation for workers
Always use special safety precautions when working at night. Most importantly, you must increase your visibility to passing motorists and know your surroundings.
- wear high visibility clothing
- wear flashing lights on your body and clothing
- place high visibility tape on equipment
- Use proper work area lighting
- know the vehicle and equipment paths
- know your assigned work area(s)
- know the safe routes to and from work
- on foot, watch out for equipment
- on equipment, watch out for workers
- always provide clear signage/traffic cones
