Site Access and Public Protection

Access routes, visitors, barricades, and public-facing work-zone protection topics.

  • Public exposure and visitor movement should be planned with the same care as worker-only areas.
  • Barricades, signage, lighting, and access routes must stay usable as the site changes.
  • Access control is a daily field task, not a one-time setup item.
  • A confusing route can become a safety hazard quickly for both workers and non-workers.
