How Workers Can Stay Safe Around Moving Vehicles
Workers at car washes, parking areas, and other roadside businesses may work close to moving vehicles throughout the day. Clear separation between pedestrian areas and vehicle lanes can help reduce the chance of contact.
Drivers should slow down when entering business entrances, parking lots, and other areas where workers or pedestrians may be present. Checking mirrors and blind spots can also help drivers identify people who may be outside their vehicles.
Workers can improve visibility by staying within designated areas when possible and remaining alert to approaching vehicles. Proper lighting, signs, and clearly marked pedestrian paths can provide additional separation between people and moving traffic.
