Observation cards raise workzone safety concerns including attenuator use and barricade lighting
Summary
Four observation cards were reviewed: missing attenuator use during a US 41 guardrail repair, reflective-tape/wing marker checks, requests for amber flashers on a cone trailer, and concerns about steel-toe shoe use in the shop; committee emphasized using attenuators when available and verifying lighting and PPE compliance.
Bill Elias summarized four observation cards received since the last meeting. The first concerned a March 4 guardrail repair on US 41 where an attenuator was reportedly not used; Marohl said he had spoken to the foreman, who said attenuators were used elsewhere, and the committee agreed attenuators should be used when available.
Other observation-card items included a request for reflective tape on 157L's top edge and verification of wing-marker lights, a request to add amber flashing lights above barricades on a cone trailer and to raise barricades higher, and a March 9 concern that some people in the Oconto shop were not wearing steel-toe shoes; the committee reiterated that operators must wear steel-toe shoes at shift start.
