What safety equipment should be used when maneuvering vehicles into traffic?

• A. Good judgment, hard hat, flag, and retroreflective clothing.
• B. Safety goggles only.
• C. No PPE is needed.
• D. Wearing sandals.

Answer: (A)

The main safety idea here is that guiding vehicles into traffic requires being both visible and protected, and able to communicate clearly with drivers. A hard hat protects your head from potential impacts or falling objects, a flag or signaling device lets you actively direct traffic and give clear stop/slow instructions, and retroreflective clothing makes you highly visible to drivers in daylight and especially in low light or adverse weather. Good judgment ties it together by guiding you to assess traffic conditions, position yourself safely, follow established traffic-control procedures, and adjust or stop work if conditions change. The other options don’t fit because goggles protect only the eyes, not head or overall visibility; no PPE neglects essential safety protections; and sandals provide no proper protection or footing for work near moving traffic.
