What is required when clearing a job site?

The process of clearing a job site typically involves ensuring that all safety measures have been taken and that the area is secure for future work or for resuming normal operations. Painting an "OK" in the dig extent signifies that the site has been thoroughly checked and is safe, indicating to others that the necessary precautions have been followed and the site is clear for proceeding with further activities. This visual marker serves as a quick reference for crew members and emphasizes that all relevant checks have been completed successfully.

While notifying a supervisor, marking the site in a different manner, or documenting site hazards are important components of site management, the act of painting an "OK" directly communicates the status of the site at a glance. It is a vital step that conveys information immediately to anyone who may approach the site, thereby enhancing safety and coordination on the job.
