Safe and efficient management of traffic is an essential component of work zone safety, especially in congested areas including bridges and approaches. This session provides important traffic control information for vehicles operating in the traffic space AND work space of a work zone.
The Essentials of Night Time Construction:
This is an interactive session on nightwork construction challenges, including general nightwork risks, the essentials of high visibility clothing, jobsite lighting and special considerations for flagging operations.

Preventing Falls in Work Zones and Bridge Construction Sites:
Join us for a "hands-on" workshop and demonstration to learn the latest on fall prevention and protection. Learn how to prevent falls and improve productivity at the same time.

Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) not only increases the quality of bridges but has improved safety for the construction workers as well as for the traveling public. Using ABC reduces construction times to a single weekend, resulting in savings of delay costs to the public in the millions of dollars. In addition, the use of SPMT equipment and faster construction methods decreases the potential for work-zone related accidents to travelers, and improved safety to construction workers.

Road and Bridge construction can create exposures to toxic substances including lead, crystalline silica, noise and other hazards which accumulate slowly to create long-term, dangerous health effects.

What is happening in Washington, DC? The power workshop opens with a brief overview of the regulatory environment in Washington, DC
How do you create safe entry and exit points in roadway work zones for trucks and equipment? How can you create openings that will not “draw in” motorists? How do you prevent motorist from following dump trucks into the work space? We have gathered “best practices” from across the United States and will present them during this informative class that every construction manger and DOT inspector should attend!
Join us for a “hands-on” workshop and demonstration to learn the latest on fall prevention and protection. Falls are a leading cause of death and injury in construction --- and roadway construction is not exempt. Manufactures of new and innovative products will be on-hand to show you how you can not only prevent falls, but improve productivity at the same time.

An Update on Critical Work Zone Hazards for Workers and Measures to Prevent Them:
Runovers, Sprains and Strains, Trench Cave-Ins, Electrocutions and Falls are some of the leading causes of worker deaths and injuries during roadway construction. What are the common causes of such incidents? What are some easy solutions to prevent them? Join us for this discussion led by national experts on injury prevention.
State DOTs and other highway construction industry experts have identified the need for better guidance in setting speed limits and managing speeds in work zones. To maintain safe traffic operations, motorist speed should be inhibited as little as practical. However, reducing vehicle speeds is often important through work zones when workers are exposed to moving traffic without positive protection and when roadway restrictions and work operations present increased risks to motorists.How does one balance the motorist safety needs with worker safety needs? This session will take on that difficult question and provide some ideas on what the industry is doing!

Did you know the Stimulus legislation included $27 million for OSHA to step-up inspections of Stimulus-financed projects? Did you know that OSHA is beginning enforcement of High Visibility Clothing rules using its "General Duty Clause?" Are you aware of new changes to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices? If you need to know the latest on new rules being enforced by Washington, DC, there is not a better, roadway focused program than this.
The MUTCD requires that work zone traffic control meet the needs of all road users on a facility, including pedestrians. This webinar discusses how to meet the work zone traffic control needs of pedestrians, including those with disabilities.
