Road Construction Work Zone Safety Protecting workers on road and highway construction sites Developed by Division of Occupational Safety and Health July, 2009Safety in Road Construction Work Zones Road construction hazards Roadway worker fatalities Traffic control measures Construction vehicle blind spots How to protect roadway workers Resources What this presentation coversIntroduction Workers in construction, utilities, or public works jobs on both highways or city streets are at risk of fatal or serious debilitating injuries. The work is in congested areas with exposure to high traffic volumes and speeds, as well as under conditions of low lighting, low visibility, and inclement weather. The work is routinely near both moving construction vehicles and passing motor vehicle traffic. How are roadway workers exposed or at risk? Workers in temporary traffic control work zones are exposed to risk of injury from construction vehicles and motorized equipment: • operating in and around the active work zone(s) • operating in traffic control or secondary areas that support the work zone ( ex. - temporary batch plants) • entering and leaving the work zone How are roadway workers at risk? Workers in the roadway are at risk of injury from a variety of general traffic vehicles entering the work zone: This attenuator truck was rear ended at 63 mph by an inattentive driver, despite workers’ attempts to get the driver’s attention. Two workers were hurt and the driver received minor injuries. The driver pled guilty to reckless endangerment of a road-way worker. Courtesy of Washington State Dept. of Transportation • Drunk drivers • Sleepy or impaired drivers • Impatient, reckless drivers • Drivers using cell phones; other inattentive drivers • Law enforcement and emergency vehicles • Disabled vehicles pulling in and parking • Lost drivers looking for directionsHow are workers on foot at risk? Flaggers and other Workers On Foot* are exposed to the risk of being struck if they are not visible to motorists or equipment operators. Driver’s view passing by a work zone under overcast/rainy conditions... Do you see the flagger? * Workers On Foot refers to any pedestrian worker on the ground in the work zone How are equipment operators at risk? Workers who operate construction vehicles or motorized equipment risk injury due to rollovers, collisions, being caught between or struck by operating equipment.

DEATHS occurred in roadway work zones from 1995-2002 (over 100/year avg.) 91% of these were related to motor vehicle traffic or construction equipment, or both Source: Bureau of Labor StatisticsWorker Fatalities in Roadway Work Zones (continued) • The trend in worker deaths showed an increase... • 90 deaths/yr average between 1992-1997 • 120 deaths/yr average between 1995-2002 • Construction vehicle related accidents are responsible for the increase in worker deaths • Construction equipment accidents accounted for as many “worker on foot” deaths as traffic vehicles Emergency vehicles at accident sceneWorker Fatalities in Roadway Work Zones (continued) Dump trucks were responsible for 41% of the “worker on foot” related deaths 52% of these involved dump trucks backing up! Victim (under sheet) who was backed over by the Dump Truck17workers were killed in traffic control work zones between 1999 and 2003 • 10 deaths involved construction equipment • 15 were workers on foot • 8 killed by dump trucks (6 were backed over) • 7 deaths resulted from motorist traffic entering the work zone • 2 were ejected from equipment and crushed (not wearing seat belts) Washington roadway worker fatalitiesTraffic Control Around the Work Zone Flaggers and other workers assigned traffic control responsibilities work very close to motor vehicles and are at risk of getting struck or run over by them. • Flaggers: • must be trained in traffic control techniques • must have a valid Washington Traffic Control Flagger card • (or card from a state with reciprocal flagger training) See Chapter 296-155-Part E WAC Signaling and Flaggers, for specific requirementsSite-specific Temporary Traffic Control Plans Traffic Control Around the Work Zone A Traffic Control Plan helps move motorist traffic safely through or around roadway work zones to protect the public and workers. • It makes use of traffic control devices, standard signage, and buffer and transition zones. • When flaggers will be used on a job lasting more than one day, there must be a current site-specific traffic control plan that is kept on site. Refer to WAC 296-155-305 (7)(b) Example template from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Click link to see more on the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control DevicesTemporary Traffic Control PlansPaving Model Plan – Traffic Adjacent Example: Safety within the Work Zone:Temporary Traffic Control Plan In the Temporary Traffic Control zone, construction vehicles and equipment moving inside create a risk to workers on foot requiring additional

Protection planning and policies to minimize backing-up maneuvers in the “activity area” The Temporary Traffic Control “Activity Area” is the section of the highway where the work activity takes place. It is comprised of the work space, the traffic space, and the buffer space. The “work space” is that portion of the road closed and set aside for equipment, workers, and material. Work spaces are usually delineated apart from the traffic space, to exclude vehicles and pedestrians, by channelizing devices or temporary barriers and signs.-- Restrict personnel access points into work areas and define/designate “no backing zones” and “pedestrian-free zones” -- Design into the Temporary Traffic Control Plan flow paths for equipment and vehicle traffic to minimize backing maneuvers where possible as well as buffer spaces to protect pedestrian workers from straying traffic vehicles and/or work zone equipment -- Establish procedures for entering and exiting work zone -- Train all employees on the Temporary Traffic Control Plan and its precautionary measures Safety within the Work Zone:Temporary Traffic Control PlanVisibility is greatly reduced at night. Your risk of getting injured or killed increases in the dark. Drivers may be more tired, sleepy, and less attentive. Working at Night • Hazards & Problems: • poor visibility • glare off lights • adverse weather conditions • tired drivers • inattentive workersProtect yourself when you must work at night by: Working at Night • being aware of your surroundings • at ALL TIMES • wearing High Visibility Apparel • arranging good work area lighting • setting up proper traffic controls • knowing the traffic flow plan/patternVehicle and Heavy Equipment Blind Spots Working Around Vehicles/Heavy Equipment A blind spot (or blind area) is the area around a vehicle or piece of construction equipment that is not visible to the operator, either by direct line-of-sight or indirectly by use of internal and external mirrors. This compact wheeled loader, with its bucket raised, is approaching the work site and no one is watching.8 ft in front and 16 ft in rear are the most hazardous areas. The driver side door area is the only zone within 8 feet of the dump truck that is safely visible. Example: this mapping diagram shows the blind areas around a Ford F-800 dump truck.
