Parking and floor coatings: traffic, chemicals and conflicting work

Vehicle movements, mechanical grinding, dust, chemicals, slips and shared work zones may overlap. Posting a closure sign is not the same as effectively preventing entry.

Illustrative site situation

Illustrative situation: drivers use a different parking aisle and approach the crew from behind despite warning signs. Verify real exclusion-zone control, not signs alone.
