Section 39.357. Protecting traffic

(a) Barrier guards. Before engaging in such work as may endanger traffic, employes shall first erect suitable barrier guards. They shall also display danger signs or red lamps from two sides of the barriers at right angles to the direction of the traffic. If the nature of work and traffic requires it, a man shall be stationed to warn passersby while work is going on.

(b) Crossed or fallen wires. When any crossed or fallen wires which may create a hazard are found, the employe shall remain on guard or adopt other adequate means to prevent accidents and have the chief operator notified. If the employe observes the rules for handling live parts by use of insulating appliances, he may correct the condition at once. Otherwise he shall first secure the authorization from the chief operator for so doing. Reference should also be made to § 39.353(a) (relating to special authorization).
