One of the most risky professions is in the construction industry, which is known for its hazardous tendency.
Road worker accidents have increased, despite the fact that traffic is safer and the number of injuries is at its lowest point in more than 40 years. Maintaining employee safety is a difficult but necessary task.
Roadside worker injuries and fatalities are mostly caused by contact with construction equipment and vehicles.
A moving vehicle is involved in the majority of incidents (55% of which happen inside the work zone), many of which have large driver blind spots. More construction work is currently planned for nights and in all weather conditions due to an increase in road traffic, and while this reduces congestion visibility makes highway construction even more dangerous for workers. 25% of accidents happen at night even though only 9% of the workforce is on duty.
The majority of plant and road construction vehicles are compatible with our commercial vehicle and safety systems. These safety features include digital recorders that are mobile, warning sirens, in-cab monitors, Radar detection, side and rear view cameras, 360° cameras, and mobile digital recorders.
We have included recommendations for each vehicle and piece of plant equipment to help you in choosing the appropriate devices.
