National Work Zone Awareness Week Scheduled in April each year, National Work Zone Awareness Week is a national campaign that helps increase public awareness of work zone safety. Local community activities can help educate the nation on work-zone related injuries and fatalities and the hazards and dangers that can be encountered and avoided when driving through a roadway construction zone. The theme for National Work Zone Awareness Week 2005 is “Slow Down or Pay Up”, keeping with the idea of “enforcement”. Posters, t-shirts, and a list of possible activities is available through ATSSA’s website. www.atssa.com/public/nwzaw.asp 900 men, women, and children are killed in work zones each year. Mark April 3-9, 2005 on your calendar and tell your coworkers, family members and friends to do the same. |
