Running the job:

Working over a slope, especially a wet slope, is sometimes
hazardous and sometimes damaging to the slope itself. Removing
deadfalls and loose rock can leave scars, and a fall or a slip of
the foot can cause an injury. Use ropes and gloves when working
on steep slopes... and never work alone!

Be especially careful with handtools and instruct new workmen
in the use of saws, axes, and pulaskies. Gloves, goggles, chaps,
stout shoes, and hard hats are essential.

Controlling traffic along the roadway is necessary to reduce
accidents. Warning signs must be posted at least 500 feet in
advance of the work site so that motorists can slow down, and flagmen
must be stationed to control cars approaching the work site. Safety
for both work crews and motorists is part of the job!
