Safe Actions Save Lives

 

Every day, workers performing construction and repairs along our nation’s highways, roads, bridges, and tunnels are often exposed to hazards from outside and inside their work zones. One of the most common of these is being struck by passing motorists who fail to follow posted speed limits and caution signs. During the annual Work Zone Awareness Wee, April 20-24, we join our roadway work zone safety Alliance partners to raise awareness about the important role the public plays in protecting the workers who make it possible to commute to their jobs, run errands and visit loved ones. Go to the official website to learn how you can participat and help make work zones safer for everyone.

Safety Toolbox

 

OSHA offers no-cost cooperative programs to help organizations prevent workplace fatalities, injuries, and illnesses. These programs are open to trade and professional associations, businesses, industry groups, unions, and community- and faith-based organizations. All of our cooperative programs are designed to help you build or improve effective safety and health programs.

If you are located in a state with an OSHA-approved State Plan, please contact your state agency for information about cooperative programs.
