There are some items that should be carried in the field or out
to a highway if an incident takes place and we are called out to
provide communications. There are certain items that need to be
carried at all times on one's person and other items that should
be immediately available.
Our state safety orders require anyone working on or near a
highway wear a safety vest, hard hat, safety glasses, and
shoes or boots of sturdy design. The footwear should have
traction type soles for solid footing on slick, uneven surfaces
such as mud, snow, grass, and pine needles. One trade name, for
example, is "Vibram", sometimes called "waffle stompers".
