Readiness check

Are you keeping people clear of the equipment, or hoping?

Struck-by is a construction Focus Four, and the danger is people and heavy equipment sharing space, especially in the blind spots. Separation is the real control; the spotters, high-vis, and proximity tech back it up. Answer for how your site actually manages it. The score stays on your device; enter an email only if you want the struck-by prevention checklist sent over.
