Worker protection headlines Spring Issue of Roadway Safety magazine

Convention Extra supplement details awards, highlights of 2023 Traffic Expo

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
• An ATSS Foundation spotlight on scholarship recipient Megan Pirelli
• A conversation with Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner Michael Smith.
