A Note to our Construction Workers

Most construction accidents occur when vehicles are backing up. Vehicles do not have to move at fast speeds for someone to be seriously hurt.

Worker Safety Tips from our carrier Peerless Insurance:

• Don’t go into an area where equipment is backing unless you have a specific job to do there.
• If you are driving, know where your spotter is at all times. Know where all the people are who are working near you. Make sure your backup alarm is working.
• Those who must enter a backing area should wear traffic vests, communicate with operators, and consider using a vehicle as an identification marker
