Traffic control
Traffic control safety is crucial for ensuring the safety of both motorists and pedestrians in work zones and other areas where traffic is present. Proper traffic control measures must be put in place to protect workers who may be exposed to traffic and to guide motorists safely through the work zone. Traffic control measures can include signage, barriers, flaggers, and other devices designed to communicate to drivers the location of the work zone and the appropriate speed and traffic flow. The proper training of flaggers is also critical, as they are responsible for controlling traffic and communicating with workers in the work zone. Motorists must also be educated on the importance of following traffic control measures, such as obeying speed limits and following the direction of flaggers. By prioritizing traffic control safety, employers can help ensure the safety of workers and motorists and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
