Work Zone Safety Policy

It is the intent of RAS Construction to provide a safe environment for all employees, subcontractors, and the public.  It is also our intent to properly manage any incidents which may occur as to minimize injury and other forms of loss.  A well-managed work zone safety policy and program can benefit RAS Construction and its subcontractors in various ways.

In order for RAS Construction to achieve our goals, we developed a work zone safety policy and program outlining the policies and procedures regarding subcontractor health and safety.  Each and every subcontractor must become familiar with all policies, follow and enforce the procedures, and become an activity participant in this work zone safety policy and program.

While managing members of RAS Construction will be responsible for developing and organizing these policies, its success will depend on the involvement of each subcontractor.

  • Ear Protection
  • High Visibility Jacket
  • Gloves
  • Long Pants
  • Safety-Toed Boots

• Field Safety Supplies – Crews must have access to the following supplies:

  • Bottled Water
  • Personal Meds & Prescription Drugs
  • Cell Phone for Emergency Use
  • Sunscreen, Lip Balm
  • Insect Repellent

• Proper Signage – When working near or on roads or in sites where there is traffic access, all proper signage must be displayed.  This signage should alert the public of any traffic variations and should be displayed to give the public enough time to adhere to the traffic variation.  Even with the proper signage employees should always be aware of the traffic in the area and never assume that signage will be followed. These precautions will help keep both the public and the employees safe from any traffic accidents.
