Road construction presents unique safety challenges as crews navigate equipment, traffic, and other on-the-job hazards. To ensure better safety levels for these workers, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) offers an Outreach Training Program to address common hazards, safety practices, and more.
