Roadway Safety Program Results in National Award

A roadway worker safety program has helped pave the way for national recognition
for the Washington, D.C.-based American Road & Transportation Builders Association.

In 2004, ARTBA received a grant from the Occupational Health and Safety Administration in Washington, D.C., and partnered with Chicago-based CNA Insurance to improve safety for roadway construction workers.

Data was examined, and safety training was developed for states with high
accident and injury rates.

Workers were educated about the hazards faced in roadway construction zones.

Nearly 1,000 workers have been trained since the program was launched in 2004.

A grant has been received for continued training in 2006.

The honor comes from the Washington-based American Society of Association Executives.
