Speaking of Safety
OSHA credits struck-by hazards as a leading cause of fatal injuries and the chief cause of non-fatal Injuries within the construction sector.  In 2019, 170 deaths were the result of struck-by injuries and almost half of them involved moving transport vehicles.  Struck by incidents are the most investigated work zone incidents.  Once an assessment is performed it offers opportunities to improve worker safety. Â
National Work Zone Awareness Week each April brings to light the number of injuries and fatalities that take place in construction work zones. As much as work zones can be stressful for commuters in day to day operations, your hurriedness and misjudgments are not worth more than another person’s life. But if you look at all the data, the actual life in jeopardy is your own – as well as your passengers. It’s time to look at how you drive when approaching construction zones a little differently.
