Hand Signals for Directing Vehicles
The purpose of this guide is to outline industry recommended practices and encourage a standard set of directional signals in guiding vehicles at worksites. This is done in an effort to improve communication between drivers and guides and to increase safety. The goal is to prevent accidents and injuries that could occur due to blind spots and undetected movement of personnel and equipment. Employers are encouraged to use this document to implement a standard set of directional signals and rules of conduct.
