3. Learning Objectives Objectives: Understand risks of people and vehicles sharing space Present practical control strategies to minimize injuries

4. Agenda Presentation agenda: Overview Facility design Administrative controls Your responsibilities

5. Overview Section 1

6. 2003 Traffic Safety Facts Traffic safety facts: 4,749 pedestrians killed in traffic crashes 70,000 injured 86% of all non-occupational roadway fatalities 2/3 of the fatalities were male Aged 70+

7. 2003 Work Zone Safety Facts Federal Highway Administration: 1,028 were killed 40,000 injured yearly 85% of fatalities are drivers or occupants 15% of fatalities are non-motorists

8. Pedestrians in the Workplace Pedestrians in the workplace: Issue not confined to public roads Moving vehicles and pedestrians creates potential for accidents OSHA reported 336 fatalities in 2003

9. Control Measures Engineering controls: Physical separation of pedestrians and vehicles Improving facility design Use of safer mobile equipment Administrative controls: Worker training Restricting access Establishing traffic flow patterns

10. Facility Design Section 2

11. Physical Separations of Pedestrians and Vehicles Preference is for segregation: Pedestrian walkways Pedestrian barriers Designated traffic routes: Wide as possible, and marked Separate access to building Crossings: Markings and signs Visibility and lighting

12. Pedestrian Barriers Pedestrian barriers: Longitudinal obstructions that separate and protect OSHA recommends barriers of sufficient strength and low deflection characteristics Short, non-continuous segments should be avoided Vertical curbs

13. Traffic Routes Workplace traffic routes: Safe for all Wide enough for largest vehicle One-way Free from excessive gradients Well maintained Free from damage

14. Parking Areas Onsite parking: Separate work and private vehicle spaces Clear, well lit walkways Employees and customers with private vehicles: Specified safe routes Clear signage Clear posted speed limits

15. Illumination All routes: Adequately lit Avoid extreme light variation Provide sun glare protection

16. Operational Safety of Vehicles and Equipment Contributors to pedestrian safety: Horns, lights, reflectors, reverse lights, and back-up alarms Good visibility Clean windshields Preventive maintenance

17. Administrative Controls Section 3

18. Worker Training Workplace pedestrians: Co-existing with traffic Facility design features Pedestrian safety rules Equipment operators: Safe equipment operation Pedestrian areas Facility speed limits

19. Worker Training Segregating pedestrians and vehicles: Restrict pedestrian movement Time separation Barriers and pathways

20. Controlling Traffic Flow Controlling traffic flow: Prohibit left turns Prohibit U-turns Set speed limits Prohibit reverse driving Designate traffic routes

21. Speed Control Workplace speed limits: Based on hazards Prominently posted Enforcement

22. Clothing and Personal Protective Equipment Effective strategies: High visibility apparel Fluorescent colored high-visibility apparel at dawn or dusk Yellow-green colors for good contrast to equipment

23. Your Responsibilities Section 4

24. Your Responsibilities Your responsibilities: Recognize proper pedestrian and vehicle flow Dont ignore barricades Use proper pathways

25. Your Responsibilities Stay aware and undistracted: Observe all signs, barricades, and design features Operate your vehicle safely Anticipate pedestrians
