Weekly Toolbox Talk: Struck by Moving Objects
STRUCK BY MOVING OBJECTS
Probably the most unpredictable type of accident is being struck by a moving object, because it is usually out of the routine.
What do you look out for? What do you have to guard against? You should be careful at blind intersections in and around the worksite, and look out for stacked materials, equipment, sharp objects, overhead work and hidden debris. Rolls or pipes improperly stacked and unguarded can give way and roll into you, causing serious consequences. Always barricade materials to keep traffic away from them and aware of hazards.
