Jobsite Personal Protective Equipment

Frequently, surveyors operate tools which, if not used correctly, could cause harm. Where there is a possibility that an eye injury could occur during the performance of assigned duties, surveyors should wear suitable face shields or goggles.

Steel-toe safety boots or high-top leather work boots should be worn.

Approved protective helmets mus be worn while working or visiting locations designated as "Hard Hat Areas". These helmets should be inspected on a regular basis and shall be replaced immediately if found to be defective. Helmets should be worn while working underneath overpasses and at any other time the foreman deems it necessary.

Wear high-visibility safety vests of approved color, or DOT yellow and orange rain coats, whenever working within the right-of-way, at any time when exposed to traffic such as
driveways, parking lots, construction sites, etc., and at any other time deemed necessary by the on-site supervisor. In addition, during night operations the safety vests should be reflectorized. If raingear or other outer garment is being worn the reflectorized vest should be worn as the outer layer.
