Working around other trades without communicating swing radius

Call out your swing radius and work zone before moving duct around other trades.

Stop if

• Can we get a clear path or spotter before we move this duct through other trades?

Watch out

• Do not spin, swing, or back up with duct without checking who is around you.

Check

• Look for people, ladders, lifts, carts, glass, pipe, cable tray, and finished work.
• Tell nearby trades before swinging long duct.
• Move slower in crowded areas.
• Use a spotter if the path is tight.
• Stop if another trade enters the swing area.
