Installing Signs, Cones, Barriers and Lamps
Set out advance warning, tapers, safety zones and pedestrian protection in a safe sequence.
How to prepare for Street Works operative assessment
Connect technical knowledge to observable performance: check the jurisdiction and plan, select and inspect resources, carry out each stage safely, verify the result and stop when reality departs from the applicable code.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Installation normally works from the first warning sign toward the work while removal reverses the sequence.
Exam cue: Check sign order, spacing, orientation, visibility and stability.
Concept 2
Signs, cones, barriers, lamps, boards and ramps must be suitable, stable, correctly oriented and maintained.
Exam cue: Build continuous pedestrian guarding with detectable edges and safe access.
Concept 3
The working space and safety zones must remain free of workers, plant and stored material except as allowed by the design.
Exam cue: Keep escape paths and the lead-in, sideways and longitudinal clearances effective.
