Workshop Description

This course, accredited by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), was developed by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) in cooperation with the National Safety Council (NSC). The 10.5-hour curriculum is designed to directly address the core safety and health hazards common to the roadway construction industry. This program focuses on highway construction activities that are responsible for the majority of work zone fatalities and serious injuries. 

The course material is geared toward roadway zone construction supervisors and experienced workers. The program design focuses on practical approaches to recognizing and controlling OSHA-identified construction hazards, accompanied with "hands-on" activities to reinforce the formal instruction.
