OSHA and the
Roadway Work Zone Safety and Health Partners have renewed their alliance to protect workers in roadway construction work zones. OSHA reports the 2-year agreement will create fact sheets for paramedics, police officers, truck drivers and others who deal with work zones on the correct PPE to wear and how to properly enter/exit work zones. As the agency says in its
press release, "The Alliance will focus on preventing worker injuries and deaths from construction vehicle run overs and back overs, and focuses on increased outreach to non-English speaking or limited English speaking workers."
