1.4 Safety Considerations

Please consider the following safety issues before beginning the installation of the Opticom™ System
intersection equipment.
Although we have compiled this list of common safety considerations, it should not be considered as
complete. It is not intended to take the place of your good judgment, training, and experience.

1.4.1 Personal Safety Equipment and Clothing

Personal safety equipment and clothing including high visibility vests, hard hats, gloves, electrical shock or
electrocution protection clothing and equipment, safety shoes, safety glasses, face shields, goggles, and
hearing protection devices are just some of the items available to you.
Choose the right equipment for the job. If you are unsure of which safety equipment is recommended or
appropriate for the job, ask your supervisor or foreman.

1.4.2 Work Zone Traffic Control

Proper control of vehicle traffic is important during many procedures. When you switch the traffic
controller to and from the flash mode we recommend that you have people trained in manual traffic
control, such as police officers, assist you.
When you install devices that require you to position vehicles, equipment, or people in or
near the roadway, it is important that you use appropriate work zone traffic control techniques,
equipment, and procedures. Sometimes you may have to work on or near the roadway and these same
techniques, equipment, and procedures should be used for your protection.
If you are unsure of which procedures are recommended or appropriate for the job, ask your supervisor
or foreman.
