In this week's episode of TMA Trucks A to Z, Samantha Schwartz ([ Ссылка ]) and Business Development Associate Ashley go over everything you need to know about AASHTO’s Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) and how the new guidelines will affect your company’s TMA trucks. Are your trucks equipped with a MASH approved attenuator?
AASHTO’s Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) was released in the Spring of 2016 and is considered an updated replacement of the NCHRP Report 350. Not only does it further expand on the testing requirements listed in the NCHRP Report 350, but it also offers guidelines for when MASH tested and approved attenuators must be used on your TMA trucks.
Ultimately, the changes made to attenuator testing as described in the 2016 edition of the AASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) have been set to ensure your attenuators are as safe and effective as possible. With a crash in a work zone happening once every 5.4 minutes in America in 2015, attenuators need to be built to safety prevent the inevitable errantly driving vehicle from causing damage in your work zone.
