Weekly Safety Topic – Swing Radius

Crushed by and caught in between are two of the top four leading causes of death on a construction site. Mobile equipment is one of the most common contributing factors to crushed by and caught in between incidents. To prevent mobile equipment from striking or crushing people, always barricade areas within the “swing radius” of moving parts. This barrier can consist of orange reflective traffic cones, barrels, a snow fence, or a more permanent type of barrier that warns people of the dangers of operating machines.
