CrewSafety: Work Zone Training

Train Workers: Save Lives

CrewSafety is for employees inside the work zone and engaged in some of the most dangerous activities. Last year, more than 25,000 people were injured in active road construction work zones and more than 700 people were killed. Many of those were road construction workers. Ensuring workers are safe and go home at the end of their shift can start with training.

NAPA's CrewSafety: Work Zone Training helps employees recognize unsafe work zone situations and understand how they can proactively ensure their safety.
