Observation cards raise workzone safety concerns including attenuator use and barricade lighting

Mar 10, 2026

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.
