Work Zone Safety
Fallen Worker Memorial
Highway work is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. Since 1992, transportation accidents have been the leading cause of on-the-job deaths in the United States. It’s important to remember that roadside workers have families they hope to return to after each day of work.
Everyone plays a role in maintaining a safe work zone area during roadway construction. To do your part,
follow these work zone safety tips when traveling through a work zone.
