Improving Safety Issues Associated with Worker Exposure to Vehicles 14
Strategies Number of participants
who identified this
strategy as the most
effective in this group.
Encourage workers to
use mutual support when
crossing lanes (i.e., the
collector in the booth
directs the motorist to
stop for the crossing
collector).
Paint pedestrian
crosswalks at the plaza.
Require maintenance
workers to use a “buddy”
system (i.e., no
maintenance work is
done alone).
Issue shoulder bags to
collectors for hands-free
crossing, and consider a
high-visibility color such
as orange.
Eliminate all mixed-mode
lanes to reduce
uncertainty of motorist
behavior.
Use pavement markings
to remind collectors
about the dangers of
crossing lanes (e.g.,
stencil “LOOK” on the
pavement, paint
“WATCH FOR CARS” on
the pavement).
Use warning stickers to
remind collectors about
the dangers of crossing
lanes (e.g., on the
ground outside the booth
doors warning of the
potential for injuries
when crossing lanes,
“WEAR YOUR VEST”
sticker on the door
collectors pass through
