In 2021, 956 people were killed in work zone fatalities with an estimated 42,000 injuries and 106,000 work zone crashes, according to the National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse.
Join us for this compelling webinar where we will focus on how to protect roadway worker safety with the goal of mitigating risk and reducing fatalities and/or serious injuries. Learn about recently developed resources that help companies navigate difficult circumstances, should a tragedy occur.

The presentation will cover:
- How to create a culture of safety
- Resources to assist companies in implementing safe work environments.
- Resources to assist companies in managing work zone incidents.
- Recommended training to promote worker safety.
