#### [Bucket Truck Escort Safety Practices That Protect the Motoring Public](https://www.highloads.com/news/bucket-truck-escort-safety-for-motoring-public)

 11.5.2020

Bucket truck escort safety encompasses a wide range of training and best practices in order to ensure the safety of the motoring public traveling alongside an oversize load. There’s so much to keep track of when a high load is on the move. Here’s how operators of modern bucket trucks keep the public safe during transport of oversize cargo.

**Always Prepared  
**When working as a bucket truck escort, continuous [safety training](https://www.highloads.com/safety/) is key to staying up to date on the latest techniques in the industry. Ensuring all operators understand how to properly handle aerial wires and communication cables, remove and install traffic signals and streetlights, and carefully remove roadside and bridge signs reduces risk. Understanding how to appropriately handle tools and equipment while working at elevated heights protects nearby motorists from potential falling debris.

**Always Alert  
**Staying alert at all times is a must. Situations change fast, unforeseen issues arise and a bucket truck escort has to think fast in order to resolve any safety concerns or potential setbacks on the fly. This is achieved by getting a good night’s rest, not working two shifts back to back and making sure to eliminate distractions like cell phone use while on the job. These practices enable an operator to identify anything out of order and immediately communicate to other team members escorting the high load. By staying alert, the potential for error involving the surrounding public is decreased.

**Always Communicating  
**A critical practice of bucket truck escort safety is to be in constant contact with others helping to transport the high load. When everyone is clear on what is going on, proper steps can be taken to minimize disruption to traffic and injury to the public. This is accomplished by allowing the police escort to drive ahead and block off the road. Then the bucket truck operator communicates with the rest of the team to get in position to lift overhead obstacles beforehand [so the cargo can pass through safely](https://www.highloads.com/news/key-utility-truck-escort-safety-practices-for-your-high-load). Constant communication and securing the area eliminates harm to the public traveling by.
