Hot mix and traffic
Read these 5 points to the crew before work, ask the questions, and get signatures. Based on MUTCD Part 6; 29 CFR 1926.200-1926.203.
Say this
- Hot mix comes off the truck around 300 °F. Long sleeves and gloves.
- Traffic control goes up before work starts.
- Know where the traffic side is and keep your back off it.
- Trucks backing to the paver need a spotter. Never walk behind a backing truck.
- Water and shade on hot days; the mat makes it hotter.
Ask the crew
- Where on this site today does "hot mix and traffic" matter most?
- What would you do first if it went wrong?
- Who do you tell, and how?
Hazards on today's tasks
- Paving: Burns from hot mix (around 300 °F), the screed and hot tools
- Paving: Traffic passing the work zone
- Paving: Struck-by the paver, rollers and dump trucks backing in
How to give it
Hold it where the work is, at the start of the shift, standing up. Read each point out loud, then point at the real thing on this site: the trench, the ladder, the machine, the cord. Ask the questions and wait for answers; the quiet ones often know the most. Keep it to about 5 minutes so it gets done every day.
Write down anything the crew raises and fix it before the work starts. Everyone signs, including subs and visitors working that shift. Keep the signed sheet with the day's JHA; it's your record that the training happened (MUTCD Part 6, and 29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2)).
