JSA Traffic Control

This document provides a job safety analysis for traffic control work. It identifies three primary exposures: falls from elevations, being struck by debris or vehicles, and being caught between backing vehicles. For each exposure, it lists engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls. Engineering controls include proper lighting, barricades, vehicle safety features, and attentuator trucks. Administrative controls involve policies, supervision, education and awareness of blind spots. Personal protective equipment includes high-visibility clothing, hard hats, and slip-resistant footwear. The goal is to implement a variety of controls to protect workers from hazards through engineering, administrative and PPE methods.
