To ensure the safety of your personnel and your patrons, use the following checklist to make sure that all of the following “safety first” measures are implemented at your site: ❑ Use vibrant colors on parking equipment at entrance lanes and exit lanes. ❑ Use universally identifiable icons, or pictograms, in all entrance and exit lanes, roadways, posts and walls. ❑ Post “No Pedestrian,” “No Wheelchair,” “No Bicycle” and “No Motorcycle” pictograms on the roadway adjacent to the parking barrier gate. ❑ Always provide proper signs, both on the roadway and on other equipment. ❑ Maintain the manufacturer’s warning stickers on gate arms and on other equipment. ❑ Use safety devices such as mirrors, buzzers, and flashing lights, especially if there are sidewalks that cross the path of exit or entrance lanes. ❑ To prevent injury to pedestrians, maintenance personnel, and persons on bicycles or motorcycles, monitor all entrance and exit lanes to ensure barrier gates are not accidentally lowered or raised. Take special care when commanding any equipment from a centralized computer system, especially when the equipment is not in your line of vision. ❑ Institute the following equipment maintenance and inspection policies: ● Ensure that maintenance is performed by the factory, a factory-trained technician, or an authorized distributor at least twice a year. Create a maintenance log to track maintenance history. ● Ensure that the equipment is inspected frequently by a factory-trained technician to ensure that it is operating properly. Create an inspection log to track inspection history. SHOCK HAZARD—to reduce the risk of severe personal injury or damage to equipment, turn off the power to the equipment before performing any maintenance or repairs. Failure to heed this warning could result in injury or even death of those who come in contact with the product.
