“There is more traffic,
congested roadways
and the demographics
of our population and
societal pressures on
drivers and speeds
have increased.
All of these items
factor into how the
driver responds
to our work zones. Our objective
is to minimize that risk.”
– Lee Carlson, Safety Consultant,
Saskatchewan Safety Council
“The possibility of having a mishap or a worker getting hit by a
vehicle is a reality. I worked for MHI for 33 years and started back
in the early 1970s. The risk factors in the work zone are as preva-lent
now as they were back then. In fact, even more so now. There is
more traffic, congested roadways and the demographics of our pop-ulation
and societal pressures on drivers and speeds have increased.
All of these items factor into how the driver responds to our work
zones. Our objective is to minimize that risk.”
