2013 National Work Zone Week 鈥 Participate in 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Work Zone Survey

黑料不打烊 annually participates in National Work Zone Awareness Week which is used as an opportunity to get media coverage to raise public awareness about the dangers for highway construction workers and motorists when road improvements are under way. This year鈥檚 National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) will take place April 15-19, 2013, with the theme 鈥淲ork Zone Safety: We鈥檙e All In This Together.鈥 While the number of fatalities, crashes and injuries have decreased in the past several years the problem still remains. NWZAW was conceptualized in 1999 as a way to recognize and focus on roadway work zone safety every April. A national event is scheduled for April 16, 2013, in Washington, D.C. to get the most media coverage possible. Many 黑料不打烊 chapters cooperate with their state DOTs in promoting Work Zone safety and also planning local and state media events. 黑料不打烊 of America serves on the Executive Committee planning the National event. Last year 黑料不打烊 undertook a successful survey to get a better handle on the impact of vehicle crashes at 黑料不打烊 member work sites. We are using the survey again this year to gauge how 黑料不打烊 members are impacted by work zone incidents. Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey today. 黑料不打烊 will be releasing the survey results as part of Work Zone Awareness Week events. Survey link
