Q: What are the key requirements for barricade safety in construction?

A: Barricades must be visible, sturdy, and OSHA-compliant. They should prevent unauthorized access to hazardous zones and include reflective markings for low-light conditions. Proper signage is mandatory to alert workers and pedestrians.

Q: When should a barricade for construction be used?

A: Barricades are required around open trenches, elevated work areas, or exposed utilities. They also protect pedestrians near demolition zones or heavy equipment operations. Always use them where fall or collision risks exist.

Q: What defines a Type 3 construction barricade?

A: Type 3 barricades are typically 42-48 inches tall with three rails and reflective panels. They’re used for long-term projects like roadwork or large excavations. These barriers must withstand weather and vehicular impacts.

Q: How to ensure proper spacing when installing barricades for construction?

A: Space barricades no more than 8 feet apart in high-traffic areas. Use weighted bases or anchors to prevent tipping. Ensure continuous visibility by avoiding gaps larger than permitted by local regulations.

Q: What maintenance checks are needed for construction barricades?

A: Inspect daily for damage, stability, and visibility features like reflectors. Replace faded signage or broken components immediately. Document inspections to comply with safety audit requirements.
