Improve worker and motorist safety with this 6-hour training!
In 2019, there were 842 fatalities in work zones across the United States. 135 of these were workers. This workshop aims to improve worker and motorist safety. Participants will learn the proper use of traffic control devices during road maintenance and construction operations; how to use specific types of traffic control devices; and how to plan, set up, and maintain a work zone.

This workshop will bring to light the hazards that field workers face every day in construction zones.
