FAQs

This checklist specifically addresses the ANSI/ASSP A10.47 standard, which covers work zone safety for highway construction.

Work zone safety audits should be conducted daily, with more comprehensive reviews performed weekly and whenever there are significant changes to the work zone configuration or traffic patterns.

The checklist covers areas such as temporary traffic control devices, worker visibility and protection, vehicle and equipment operations, night work safety, pedestrian and bicycle accommodation, and emergency access and egress.

A qualified person, typically a traffic control supervisor or safety manager familiar with ANSI/ASSP A10.47 standards and experienced in highway construction, should be responsible for conducting the work zone safety audit.

By ensuring proper implementation of work zone safety measures, this checklist significantly reduces the risk of accidents involving both workers and motorists, improves traffic flow through construction areas, and helps maintain a safe working environment in high-risk highway construction zones.
