    Barricades are an important safety measure on construction sites to prevent various types of accidents such as collisions. Proper barricading is needed for hazards like open holes or work areas. Effective barricades include signs, cones, barriers, caution tape, and flashing lights to clearly mark hazards and construction zones. When installing barricades, consideration must be given to providing adequate warning, ensuring visibility of warning devices, using flagmen in narrow passages, maintaining barricades, and clearly marking the boundaries of work areas. Barricades help enhance safety and preventing accidents by properly identifying and conveying safety hazards.

    Barricading

    Barricades are an important part of our business. On any given job site there are
    multiple situations that call for proper barricading. Anyone of you standing here
    at this toolbox talk can think about your job and come up with at least one item
    that needs to be properly barricaded. It could be anything from barricading a hole
    in the floor of a basement to a warning line on top of a sky scrapper. The need to
    properly identify potential hazards and convey the correct safety message is a
    huge step in preventing accidents from occurring on your job site.

    Types of Accidents include:


    • Collision with construction equipment such as forklifts or trucks
    • Collision with other vehicles
    • Pedestrians (both construction workers and visitors) falling into excavations.
    • Driving into excavations
    • Driving into work areas

    Putting proper barricades up on the job site is a great way to help prevent these types of accidents and
    to properly put up barricades you need to know that there are many types of barricades that can be
    used.
    Barricades include the use of:
    • Signs
    • Cones
    • Barricades
    • Caution Tape
    • Channeling devices such as barrier walls
    • Flashing lights
    • Danger tape
    • Rope

    Once you have determined that barricades are needed for your project, just putting them up does not
    mean you are done.

    Be sure to take time to consider barricading items such as these:
    • Giving the public plenty of warning by use of signs
    • Make sure warning devices can be seen and are effective
    • Use flagmen on narrow passages, one way passages, or when construction vehicles will
    • Maintain all barricades and signs
    • Be sure you clearly mark the beginning and end of the construction area.

    Remember barricades can be moved and improved for whatever the need may be. Having no barricade in
    place is never the right answer. Let’s make sure we have the right answer to barricading issues every time.
