Inspection gaps identified: fire extinguishers, pre-trip paperwork and Class 3 clothing compliance
Summary
Committee review of safety checklists for a US 141/ STH 22 repair found missing fire-extinguisher inspections, incomplete pre-trip paperwork for Equipment 135, insufficient attenuator roll-ahead setup and inconsistent Class 3 clothing usage; the committee added extinguisher checks to daily pre-trip lists.
Todd Marohl reviewed the safety checklist from a US 141 at STH 22 beam guard repair and identified multiple deficiencies: two vehicles lacked inspected fire extinguishers, Equipment 135 did not have pre-trip checklist paperwork completed, and attenuator roll-ahead distance was insufficient after initial site set-up. The committee decided that checking fire extinguishers will be part of the daily pre-trip inspection.
Marohl also noted that drum lights had been left on flash during an overnight closure and needed to be changed to steady, and that Class 3 safety clothing was not being worn by all staff on site. Marohl provided gators/pants to those who needed them and Elias reminded members that a vest with sleeves or a sleeveless vest plus gators/pants is required on county or state systems.
