Construction safety tips
Follow these 10 construction safety tips
-
Look up, stay alert -- phones, video games and other electronic devices can be distracting.
-
Remove an earbud or turn down the volume. Headphones can keep you from hearing approaching bulldozers, dump trucks and other construction vehicles.
-
Do not walk, ride, run, hang out or play in construction zones or work areas, as heavy machinery and debris pose dangers.
-
Use sidewalks or designated paths and be aware of sidewalk closures or temporary walkways.
-
Cross only at designated crosswalks, as construction vehicles make sudden stops and wide turns.
-
Make eye contact with construction vehicles before crossing -- see and be seen.
-
Observe all construction signs and warnings.
-
Keep away from construction fencing and traffic cones -- they're there to protect you.
-
Watch out for falling objects, dust and other hazards.

Special Safety Tips for Rail Crossings
-
Always expect a train. Passenger and freight trains are quieter and faster than you think and can run from either direction, especially in quiet zones.
-
Walking on or beside railroad tracks is dangerous and illegal.
-
Never pass flashing lights or go around lowered gates. Always wait until lights have stopped flashing and gates are completely raised.
-
Wait to cross until you can see clearly in both directions. Multiple tracks may mean multiple trains.
-
When driving, always allow enough space for your vehicle to completely clear a rail crossing before proceeding -- not just the tracks.
