These protective barriers shall not be removed except as directed by the supervisor and in accordance with OSHA Standards.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION report all unsafe conditions and unsafe acts to your supervisor. Make sure all equipment, tools or
working platforms, scaffolds, ladders and walkways are safe prior to use.
PROTECTION OF MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC:
Protection of the lives and property of members of the
general public shall be considered paramount to all factors and functions of our operations. We will make every attempt possible and
practical to keep from injuring the public by using barricades, warning signs, lights, nets, etc., where our operations might expose them
to injury.
All visitors not associated with the project by virtue of some responsibility for any part of it (e.g., owner, architect, engineer,
subcontractor, supplier, etc.) are prohibited from being within the project construction limits and shall be directed to leave the jobsite
premises.
Never hesitate to ask a bystander, a neighborhood child, a salesman or similar person to leave the jobsite. All
company personnel are expected to report visitors to the supervisor and to warn invited guests (e.g., owners, architects) of the
hazards and provide them with necessary safety equipment. To aid in warning the general public, a sign shall be required at all
entrances to project sites. The wording below is one example of suggested language for such signs.
