For drivers

Slow down and give workers the space they need.

Your driving decisions can save lives – including yours – when you see crews on the roadside. Reduce speed, stay alert, avoid distractions, and follow directions.

Learn how to drive in work zones

For employers, drivers

Shift into spring by giving your vehicle a seasonal checkup.

After months of winter wear, it’s time to examine your vehicle inside and out. Check for damage, worn parts, and anything that could affect safe driving.

Here’s what to do

For employees

You have a role to play in keeping yourself safe.

Whenever you’re behind the wheel as part of your job, you have safety rights. You also have a duty to keep yourself and others safe.

Learn your rights & responsibilities

Driving for work is dangerous. It doesn’t have to be, since most crashes, injuries, and deaths are preventable. Together, employers and employees can help ensure all work drivers and roadside workers get home safe at the end of their shift.
