Lighting

Temporary lighting should be used in night work zones or when work is at dawn or dusk.
Lighting should allow motorists/pedestrians to clearly see work area and potential hazard so they
can safely travel through the work area. But make certain that lighting does not “blind” motorists
traveling in proximity to the work area.
Illumination should allow workers to see their work activity more clearly.
Lighting should be directed so motorists can clearly identify locations of workers in the work
zone.
Overnight procedures to secure work area and protect hazards must be developed and may
require auxiliary flashers or lighting that must be activated upon departing the work area.

Work locations may require multiple days of activity and may necessitate the securing of the site
overnight. The foreman, supervisor or delegate will be responsible for making sure that an
adequate overnight plan has been established.
GC will be consulted if overnight procedures require special equipment, closures, or other
contractor involvement.
The foreman, supervisor or delegate must determine the proper number of signs and
channelizing devices that are needed to alert drivers and pedestrians of the hazards and any
changes in the roadway or walkway.
All such devices should be reflectorized to ensure good visibility at night. Lighting may be
required based upon the hazard and risk.
All equipment and supplies should be parked and stored in a safe location where they are not
accessible to vehicles or pedestrians.
Equipment, vehicles, and materials should be secured to prevent theft and vandalism.
Adequate pathways must be established as needed to allow passage to retail or commercial
establishments as needed. Hazards should be delineated with cones, barricades, caution tape,
snow fence, etc.
The foreman, supervisor or delegate is required to conduct a job check to verify that hazards and
exposures have been minimized.
All caution tape, delineators, cones, barricades, and signs should be checked immediately prior
to closing down the job for the day and inspection noted in the daily log by the foreman,
supervisor, or delegate. Corrective action should be completed before departing the job.
