“Jobsite Access and Egress Safety”
Key Hazards
- Falls from unstable access points
- Improvised ladders or climbing routes

2–3 Minute Talk Script
Jobsite access and egress safety is critical because workers must safely enter and exit work areas throughout the day.
Approved access routes such as stairs, ladders, and ramps must be used instead of improvised paths.
Access points should be maintained in good condition and kept free of obstructions.
Exit routes must remain clear for normal operations and emergencies.
Safety Reminders
- Use approved access routes only.
- Do not improvise climbing paths.
- Keep exits clear at all times.
- Report damaged access equipment.
Ask the Crew
- Are access routes clearly identified?
- Are exit paths clear and usable?
