Worker protection headlines Spring Issue of Roadway Safety magazine

Roadway Worker Protection Council Chair Doug Dolinar told Roadway Safety magazine it’s time for a “paradigm shift” in how the industry looks at worker safety.

The Council spent the past year laser-focused on that issue, producing a Worker Protection Toolkit that provides members aids for that effort. Details on the toolkit—including checklists to help in case of an incident and a training guide aimed at prevention—are included in the latest issue of Roadway Safety magazine now available online.

The Spring Issue also includes:

• Work Zones Must Command Respect: DOTs offering options for stemming fatalities
• Talking Tech: Collaboration among road operators, automakers and technology companies will be critical to moving connected vehicles forward
• A feature on political newcomers creating a need for member outreach
