Communication must be two-way or it isn't communication. This applies to audible and visual communication.

Recently a foreman was fatally injured when he was crushed beneath a truck. The accident occurred as the truck was backing toward the dump point. The victim was in the process of moving a water hose when a truck backed over him. Prior to the accident, the victim was in his office and notified the truck driver with a CB radio that he was going to cross the work area. However, it was later reported that no one heard a response to the victim's announcement. Following these communication procedures may save your life:

• Always communicate with equipment operator prior to entering the work area. Let the equipment operator know what you are going to do and where you will do it.
  
  
• Always get confirmation from the equipment operator that he/she heard you and understands your intentions.
  
  
• Always make sure the equipment operator sees you before entering the work area, even after you have communicated your intentions.
  
  
• Always notify the equipment operator of your intentions and get confirmation prior to moving to other areas around the equipment or leaving the work area.
  
  
• If possible, communicate with the equipment operator once you have left the work area.
  
  
• Wear a high visibility vest to increase your visibility in the work area.
  
  
• Be aware of other individuals who may be in the work area and communicate your intentions with them. All individuals in the work area should use two-way radio or other effective means communication.
  
  
• NEVER, NEVER, NEVER reenter a work area without restarting the communication process.
