Work on roads, public squares, and municipal facilities requires special safety measures. In addition to the right safety products, training and clear safety guidelines are essential for avoiding accidents. In this post, you will learn which equipment is necessary, which TECWERK safety products have proven most effective, and how municipal personnel can avoid hazards.

Safety guidelines for working on roads and public squares

Municipal work like road building, landscaping or maintenance work poses a wide range of risks. Key safety guidelines include:

• Wearing warning safety clothing: Reflective vests or jackets in accordance with EN ISO 20471 improve visibility.
• Helmets required in hazardous areas: Safety helmets according to DIN EN 397 protect against falling objects.
• Use safety goggles and gloves: Eye protection in accordance with EN 166 and cut-resistant gloves minimise the risk of injury.
• Ear defenders in noisy areas: In accordance with EN 352, protection is required when working with machinery.
• Securing work areas: Barriers, warning signs and lighting reduce the risk of accidents.

Tips for avoiding hazards and training for municipal personnel

1. Regular safety training: Employee trainings improve risk awareness.
2. Use PPE (personal protective equipment) consistently: All employees should wear the specified equipment.
3. Clearly label work areas: Barriers, indicating signs and lighting provide additional safety.
4. Keep emergency plans to hand: Provide first aid equipment and clear instructions for handling an emergency.
5. Inspect safety equipment regularly: Replace defective or worn products immediately.

Through consistent safety measures and high-quality TECWERK safety equipment, work-related accidents in municipal areas can be significantly reduced. Employees stay protected, and can carry out public work safely.
