T A I L G A Consider the weather conditions and the forecast for the day. Is it going to rain? How will the weather conditions impact the job for the client? Observe your surroundings, the type of road, and the condition of the road. Is your location a heavily wooded, windy road with a lot of potholes? Is there a high volume of traffic? Is there significant pedestrian activity in the area? Plan out how to best setup and work in the area. Observe the patterns and volume of traffic for the road. Is this road heavily traveled? Note the speed of the roadway. Gain a clear understanding of the job. Ask the client: “Exactly where will you be working today?” “If today was to go perfectly, how far down the road would you like to go?” “Do you think your equipment will be entering the active lane(s) at any time?” “What is the relief schedule? Who will provide relief?” “Will we be taking a lunch break? Where will equipment move during the break? How long are you expecting the lunch break to be?” Arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the job start time. You need time to prepare. Greet your team and shake their hands. Everyone should know the names of their fellow Crew Members and leaders to establish quality communication. Shake your client’s hand. Introduce yourself and your crew. Acknowledging everyone on the jobsite lays the foundation of trust, respect, and safety. A pre-job brief is the foundation of a quality job.
