The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, in partnership with PennDOT and highway contractors, organized a safety stand-down today with the aim of preventing jobsite accidents. “The event which has been dubbed ‘Safer Together’ will call upon both the transportation construction industry and the motoring public to focus on work zone safety.” Workers are being asked “to dedicate 30 minutes of their day to focus on work zone safety through various activities such as safety talks, traffic control plan reviews, or utilizing one of the many resources provided on the event webpage. Workers are also encouraged to take a web-based training course on Temporary Traffic Control Safety offered by PennDOT.” For their part, drivers are being reminded to slow down in work zones, observe posted speed limits, and “put down the phone while driving.” The PTC announcement notes that there has been an increase in work zone incidents in Pennsylvania in recent months.
