All contractors and organizations renting Village of Pinehurst facilities will provide certificates of insurance listing the Village of Pinehurst as an additional insured.
Operations in the Public Right of Way If street construction or repair work is to be done, preparations will be made to assure vehicle and pedestrian safety before such work is allowed to begin. 1. If traffic is affected by the operation, proper signing must be used to warn in advance of the work area. Traffic control signs in and around the affected area are to be correctly placed and maintained through the period when work is being performed and traffic obstructions exist. 2. Where barricades and signs are used overnight, supervisors will examine the work area for proper placement at the end of the workday. Lighted barricades will be used whenever possible for overnight protection. 3. Where traffic must be periodically stopped or obstructed by workers or equipment in the traveled portion of a roadway, one or more flaggers wearing a protective vest will be stationed at the appropriate area for purposes of directing traffic. 4. All workers in or near the roadway will wear reflective vests or reflective clothing while at the work site. Reflective vests will meet the ANSI 107-2004 standard. A Class 2 vest is required. 5. A flagger will be used to slow or direct traffic where the approach to the work area does not provide adequate visibility to drivers. A flagger must have a certification card. 6. Assistance in setting up signage or barricading should be available at any time from the Public Services department. Contact the Public Services Director or Assistant Director if assistance is required. Any person setting up signage and barricades must possess a certification card. 7. In any case where streets are significantly obstructed or closed for any period of time the Police and Fire Departments shall be notified of the situation and told approximately how long the closure should be in effect. Pedestrian Safety Employees have a responsibility to make sure pedestrians are safe by following the proper procedures: 1. When pedestrian traffic is impeded by official Village barricades, restrictive tape, rope, barricades or other restraint will be used to keep the public from the work site. If pedestrian traffic must be routed off sidewalks and into the street, cones, barricades and signs, to guard from vehicular traffic, will provide protection. 2. Holes in the sidewalk or parkway which must be left open will be covered whenever possible along with perimeter protection. Every reasonable means of preventing accidental entry into the hole should be used. Keep in mind that darkness and rain can complicate this situation. 3. Where an unusual situation exists that cannot be easily resolved, or when personal injury or damage to equipment or property occurs as a result of operations, contact the responsible supervisor and the Risk Manager immediately. Office Safety Office work is more dangerous than is commonly assumed and many accidents occur during ordinary office routine.
