2–3 Minute Talk Script

Safe work around parking lots is important for grounds crews, maintenance workers, and delivery staff. Parking lots have moving vehicles, blind spots, and frequent pedestrian activity.

Workers should wear high-visibility clothing when working around traffic and never assume a driver sees them. Making eye contact with drivers before crossing behind or in front of vehicles prevents collisions.

Parking lots become more hazardous in rain or low visibility conditions. Workers should remain cautious and avoid shortcuts between parked vehicles.

Communication helps coordinate movement between pedestrians, work crews, and incoming deliveries.

Safety Reminders

  • Wear high-visibility gear.
  • Make eye contact with drivers.
  • Avoid walking between parked vehicles.
  • Stay alert during poor visibility.

Ask the Crew

  • Are there high-traffic times today?
  • Do we need cones or signage in place?
