warning signs, distance from site?

[showoffsummer]

Hi all, just doing my last assignment for my first year of my foundation degree, woo!

 

It is a accident report, after 30 mins of "googleing" I decided to ask the experts!

 

does anyone know if tree surgery is taking place in a public environment are signs mandatory and if so what distance from the site. If you have a web source for the info I would really appreciate it.

Chapter 8 is for roadside works.

 

If your talking about a general public place, i.e. a park then I would think that whatever measuers are necessary to keep it safe should be undertaken.

 

So a park in winter with no one around might need a sign out and thats all, a busier park might need signs and cones. If it summer and there are kids about then signs conses and barrier tape, and if its really busy with dogs children everywhere then mesh fencing and sign etc.

 

There can be no fixed distance that the signs should be from the work place but they must be effective. So if there was a fixed distance of say 10m and you put the signs at exactly 10m and that was behind a tree then that is obviously no good. A good line of site for on coming pedestrians/cyclist is essential so you need to work out waht is best for each job.

 

Common sense needs to prevail but the wording I would think is that wahtever signage is used must be "effective".

Perhaps I should have read public place as open park land as supposed to public road!?

This is a good answer

Sometimes intuition and reading the site is more important than tables so long as you can show you have used your noddle:001_smile:
